Reply to comment by cheesewitche in I need shoulder surgery (Bankart labrum tear repair). Has anyone else in the sub had/talked to someone who's had this procedure done in Baltimore/the wider DMV area? Looking for recommendations for orthopedic surgeons who specialize in shoulders. by cheesewitche

I play pretty competitive ice hockey and it's held up well! The big thing is to really give a solid effort in PT. Three days a week minimum are truly needed. My surgery was three years ago. Expect a year's recovery to get back to 80%.

Oh that's very cool! Something like slipping and landing on my back would completely knock it out of joint right now. I'd imagine you're experiencing that level of force semi regularly in the rink so it's really cool to hear that you're doing well.

I can hardly remember what 80% of my pre injury stability felt like bc it's been messed up for so long, even though it's actually gotten significantly stronger since then due to all my efforts to avoid surgery. Sounds like I should just do it

Absolutely just get it done now! I delayed mine for a year, not a good idea as it just got worse.
