Hi,
In 2009, I had a bone spur removal and capsulorrhaphy (labrum pleat) done on my left shoulder. I had rotator cuff repair (almost a full tear) done in October 11. Last month, I had my right shoulder done (full tear and bone spur). I was not finished with therapy on my left as it was not even a full 3 months post surgery when I did my right one. I was at the point in therapy where I was beginning to lift 2 lb weights. I of course was forced to use my left for everything since my right was just done, and it's now been 1 month and I'm afraid that I've re-torn my left. So, here's my question. ......How would I know? And how long does it take to heal - was I in the clear after only 3 months, and it's possibly just over-use pain and not an actual tear? I'm freaking out a bit here.
Thanks!
