People commonly ask how bad the pain is after shoulder surgery.
It’s not nearly as bad as most people imagine. In our practice, we perform contemporary shoulder surgery. So what does that mean?
We use state-of-the-art techniques, pain blocks, anesthesia, rehab techniques, rehab protocols, and pain medicine protocols after surgery. Everything is on the cutting edge, and the majority of our patients are off narcotics by a week after surgery. Regardless of the operation, the majority of our patients feel much better within two weeks after surgery.
It is surgery. You are going to have discomfort, but the difference between where we were 10 or 20 years ago and where we are now, with the advances we’ve made, especially in our hyper-specialized practice, enabled us to stay on the cutting edge of the shoulder by really just honing in and focusing on that joint.
