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 those aren't also welcome....)" 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. Fred -- Fred Lebow |
