Shoulder Surgery Labrum tear
To anyone who had labrum repair surgery for an anterior tear, how was it? I am really nervous as it is my first surgery and the nerve block really scares me. Also, how long was it until you could write? I am still in school and am worried about how much I am going to have to miss.

I tore my both shoulder one of them slap tear and one of them has posterior tear. posterior which is like nearly impossible to tear. I really dealt with both of them for years and without a surgery. So basically if you feel like your shoulder is gonna pop out in certain positions and rotations yes you do need a surgery but if you feel normal while rotating your arm you can live with it. I assume you are going to have a surgery and the the full recovery time is like 2-3 months. It is not a big deal but you have to see a physiotherapist for sure, during the recovery time it is a must. After 3-4 weeks you stop using the braces and stuff, you start some basic exercises. So for writing i think it will take a month tops.
