I took a fastball to the boys when I was 13. Hopped all the way to 3rd base cussing while parents covered their kids' ears. I don't remember anything but getting hit. Next thing I remeber is laying in the grass away from the field with a bag of ice on my crotch. Didn't go back in.

I've had 2 surgeries on the same shoulder, in the span of 366 days. My best advice is prepare for post-op at home before surgery. Put a bunch of necessities close by, at an easily reached height. Bending over/ reaching up high, even with the other hand, can be painful. And yes, wait until absolutely necessary to take Meds. If you run out too early you're gonna hate life.

If you jav a significant other then it will be much easier of course. Positive vibes your way  :cheers:

know several people who had to have it done twice, either from not following orders to a T or from having a bad doctor.    Defenitely get referrals on doc from people who had good experience on this surgery.

Good luck friend.  You can fill me in over some drinks and painkillers soon.  I might not be too far away from having this done also.

you asked for advice, I gave it.   Eat a dick.    Feel free to NOT listen to the doctor's orders and get to repeat it.

Let's put it this way, it's impossible for me to water ski, not because I can't stand up, but because my lats and traps produce too much drag to pull behind a boat.

On a serious note, stay in front of the pain with your meds and you'll be golden. Put reminders in your phone and take them when you're supposed to regardless of pain at the time.

Also, you might have to end up sleeping with a few pillows under your back to support you and it's going to be weird and stuff, just a heads up. I know guys that have slept in recliners the first week or two because laying down in a bed can put some weird pressure on the joint.

My physical aesthetics on point ever since I let 'clams plan out my cycle. However, I did a lot of damage to my bod before I got smart and started juicing.
