I have a question regarding these answers. Why would it be too soon to have an MRI if opusbar1 thinks he may have re torn his rotator cuff?
If the rotator cuff was repaired correctly when he had his original surgery then why would his healing process of this be a reason for him to wait to have an MRI?
If he's maybe re torn the muscle or re torn a different shoulder muscle, wouldn't it be advisable to get this checked asap to give him peace of mind?
Why should he wait? I am very interested to know what your reasons for this are.
Hi, Yes it seems to be little early to go for an repeat MRI as still your injury is in the process of healing and may require couple of weeks time, meanwhile you can consult the same orthopedician who had operated you for review check up. Tel your physiotherapist about the pain you suffer while doing or after physiotherapy, if required you may have to take complete rest.
Hi,
Following any surgical intervention on musculoskeletal system, it would require few weeks time for everything to settle down. A tear in the muscle roughly takes about 4-5 weeks time.
Continue physiotherapy as and when advised under the guidance of physiotherapist.
Hi,
Wait another 2 weeks before you could get an repeat MRI done.Normally it take 6-8 weeks for a complete recovery.At 52 if you do not have any complications it will take 8 weeks to heal,you got the operation done this month meaning it is hardly 4 weeks now,please wait.But,do only mild exercises ,donot be over enthusiastic and injure yourself.Have a second opinion from an orthopaedic surgeon.
Goodluck
