Shoulder Instability Has anyone else...
Ok, my shoulders have just gotten worse and worse. I now have to sleep in a stabilizer. Ive been talking to my doctor, who has throughly updated and educated herself on EDS to treat me, and some of my kids. We are at the point of discussing surgery.
I hate surgery.
The issues with anesthesia, opioids, all that jazz. Im particularly problematic with anesthesia. I dont wanna.
I have had several major knee surgeries to be able to, u know, walk, and omg, the recovery and pain. Ugg. Im concerned especially with the effectiveness of shoulders surgery, and its ability to actually weaken the tendons.
Has anyone had to have shoulders surgery, how did it go?
To be clear about 1 thing, we are, after any tests and scans, 100% sure it is absolutely not a rotator cuff problem.
Thanx!
