After 9 weeks of physical therapy the range of motion of my shoulder that had rotator cuff surgery in June is limited and the surgeon said I’m up against a brick wall so to speak
. He said to discontinue any more PT and he will do surgery on it next Thursday. This is what he will do, and he says it won’t be comfortable. If therapy is not successful, or if a patient can not tolerate therapy, a shoulder manipulation may be performed. This procedure is done under anesthesia
. The health care provider will forcibly bring the shoulder through a range of motion to release the scar tissue 
.He said it’s like 3 months of PT in 30 seconds. I’ll need to re-start therapy that day for 6 weeks. Danny
I also ended up with some nerve damage (ulnar nerve, tip of elbow - funny bone) which didn't help because if PT or I did too much it set the nerve off. Fortunately today I have enough mobility to do all the everyday stuff and unless I try to go too straight or too bent for too long, my nerve doesn't bother me.
. With this much of a support group this next procedure has got to work and put me back to normal daily activities and work. Yes, I miss working and the income it brings. Jane has been working extra shifts to help make up the loss of my income since there is no disability or unemployment for this self-employed Cabinetmaker and we are doing just fine. Got to get the tear back together before Thursday since Jane misses sleeping in it, got to keep her happy.
