Thanks, but actually I'm pretty satisfied...


OK.

I was interested more in folks' experience with this particular problem
rather than with PT experiences in general (not that folks' thoughts on
those aren't also welcome....)


Fair enough, but other folks' experiences aren't, IMO, going to be of
any help unless they were in about the same generally physical
condition/shape, age, and have about the same level of injury, past and
present, and perhaps most importantly, had a PT regimen very similar to
what you will have and took it about as seriously as you intend.

I've had PT on both shoulders, knees, ankles, hips, back, etc., before,
after, and as an alternative to arthroscopy, mostly in my late
teens-early 20s, and generally, all but the knees are now fine (and the
knees aren't too bad...yet...) for my purposes - living as a
fairly-active, generally-healthy early-middle-age adult.

I reinjured one shoulder (and a knee) in my late 20s-early 30s, and took
the PT, restrictions, etc., _VERY SERIOUSLY_ as I knew the
consequences, immediate and long-term, of not doing so. I can tell some
10 years later the difference in those areas with early injuries versus
the later ones. The shoulder with later injuries has had much less
overall trauma, but "twinges" more. IOW, what they say seems to be
true: the older you are, the harder it is to heal and if you combine
that with a bad state before the injury, you really have an uphill
battle.

Good luck,
R

From: "JR"

"...Unfortunately, I also think (as you were in part alluding to) that the
prospects for
average folks well into middle age, dealing with problems caused by
decades of wear and tear, *are* probably much less promising than for
younger, very fit folks who suffer a specific discrete injury..."
" I was interested more in folks' experience with this particular problem
rather than with PT experiences in general (not that folks' thoughts on

Although most of my injuries occurred when I was much younger -
my most recent knee problem just happened and I am on the far side of 50.
I know that this is not the same as rotator cuff' "stuff " but again
I swear by physical therapy.

IMO

If you go to a good therapist & maintain the regimen - It should work.
What really have you got to lose except a little $$ and some time?
For me - Its better than living w the pain - and it probably will not just
go away.
