houswoea Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I figure you're the ones to ask... has anyone had any surgeries on their shoulders before? How did that affect your condition? Like did it make it worse, or is PT really the best idea, or maybe it was worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuliya Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I haven't had shoulder surgery, but I have had several other ones and I have never noticed a big change in my symptoms, except maybe the anesthesia lowered my heart rate for a day or so until it wore off, plus all the extra fluids they give you I think helped.

POTSperson Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hi,I haven't had shoulder surgery but I have had a surgery since my diagnoses the anesthesia was hard it lowered my heart rate and blood pressure, but it wasn't all that bad. However I do have shoulder and back issues I am currently in PT. I have been in PT before and it has gone well. I have a sports medicine doctor that is big on trying to fix things without surgery. I think that giving PT a chance could be a good idea but if your doctor is recommending surgery I wouldn't worry about the anesthesia just make sure you tell the surgeon long enough in advance that he knows how to handle the way your body might react. Hope all goes well!Meaghan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
