anyone had an acromioclavicular joint resection

I will be undergoing this surgery in the next couple of months,

Anyone else had this surgery?

From a sporting aspect (Mainly golf) how long before you were able to get back into the swing of playing again assuming you were a golfer My knowledge of this procedure is that it could be upto 12 weeks before it is back to normal

I'm sure you've looked for yourself but, if you haven't, this might help

No! HTH?

I have, on my right shoulder and as I am right handed it did not take to long to get back swinging a club, left would have been worse. Seem to remember is was about six weeks

Thanks Pessa I spoke to a consultant friend he said if I do all my post op exercises and physion i could get playying again in about 4/5 months .

Bridge, didnt need to look it up as I know the procedures and the usual post op recovery periods but thanks for your link. I will have a browse

I was more interested from a sportiing (Hockey and golf point of view. I will need to ensure i do the exercise and strengthen the muscles etc

I would recommend you give a call to a physio who works at Bournemouths ground called Dave Mott, he really is good.

I have just had a hip replacement, 8 weeks ago, and I did a load of pre op work with him on a Galileo vibration plate to give my quads and gluts more strength, he had me walking without any aids at all in less than 3 weeks and back to work in 4. Have a read on the internet about an ice machine called a game ready that was developed for the England rugby squad Dave can hire you one and you will be amazed with the results it helped me get rid of all the swelling inside a week which speeded up everything, there is a shoulder wrap in the kit. Good luck !!

Going into hospital tomorrow for my shoulder resection . Can't wAit to have it done but god it's going to be hard work get the shoulder muscles working again

Good luck VW. Hope the nurses are fit. Swift recovery.

Thanks goat boy . Nurses are not what they were up here unless there's some young student nurses on shift

Good luck with that, Viking. Dont forget the therapeutic post-op Guinness, keeps up your blood-iron levels. I think you can get it intravenously nowadays....

Spent several hours in hospital today waiting for my op . Told that as there was a delay in theatre and no time to do my op today I could go home and it could be up to two months before it gets done . What an anti climax . Bloody livid . Ps thanks for all your best wishes . I need Guinness to calm me down Scotty

Best of luck Mike. Ron has your message.

You don't realise that Having to keep the arm in a sling is for your own benefit . You don't realise how useless you become having only the use of one arm . You can't do shoe laces up . Open cans even putting on trousers etc etc . I have been given some gadgets by OT . Try putting butter on a slice of bread . Hilarious ,

Back to the sling . I thought my arm felt good yesterday so removed the sling . Very very stupid thing to do . So yes it will take time and I must listen to my fellow medics and build the two parts of the shoulder up slowly. I forgot a had peices of bone removed from the clavicle and rototator cuff .

I know how mark cavendish must be feeling after his tour crash the other day . He will be in a lot if pain his dislocated shoulder will be fine but the surgery he has to have or had will keep him out for many months

Are you have key hole surgery or General surgery ?

Good luck with your op millbrook

Dave thanks for your message

Mike

Wow sounds like hard work .I think I am due to have keyhole surgery .Have now received date for MRI scan ,it is tomorrow ,so wheels are turning in relation to getting a date for op. Thanks for your reply .

It takes a long time bud and realistically you are looking at 6 months to a year. I know you love your gold but please please be sensible about it and take it slow. All it takes is one jarring divot. Golf is a very unnatural movement of the joint and puts strain on the a/c joint ( or lack of one if its gone)

keep it moving and do your exercises but please take the sport slow
