The surgery is needed and you will get through it. I had shoulder surgery about 20 years ago and I do NOT have any pain with it now. I had a great orthopedic surgeon who I had good faith in and I know he would do the job right. Just try to think positive: the pain from the surgery will last a little while but your shoulders will be better in the end. I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Degenerative Disc Disease along with Fibromyalgia. One day at a time. Write any time. Lorri

Hello Jodie. My sister had the rotator surgery. Twice on the same shoulder. First one didnt work. 2Nd one wasnt much better. She sas she s not having the other one done. Its so painful. I hope its better for u

That's exactly where I am right now. After the holidays I am pushing to have the surgery. I just cant keep going like this. Everything is suffering. thank you for the prayers- they will and are needed.

I recently had shoulder surgery for the exact same thing. I was in pain for so long before the surgery having to do therapy and injections to satisfy my insurance. My recovery went so well and in a way was easy since i went thru so much before it. I will be praying that you have a quick and easy recovery as i did.
