My suffering turn is during a 10 if we do not keep up with a suffering meds. we even have to take them progressing than a prescribed 4-6 hours. we am off work as well as need help.

Shoulder surgery is rough! I know, I just had a Type II SLAP Repair and Capsular Plication 5 weeks ago. I was taking pain meds every day until last week. If you are having to take your medications more often than prescribed, you need to contact your surgeon and try a different pain med. What does he have you on? I took OcyContin for 10 days, 20mg with Percocet for any breakthrough pain. I switched over to just the percocet at day 11 and just came off everything about 9 days ago. You may need to have the doctor check your shoulder. Infection is always a possibility and can cause extreme pain. If it is not an infection, then you need better pain control. Call his office and let him know what is going on. Maybe he can put you on a stronger dose or a different medication all together. I hope that you feel better soon. Just keep in mind, it does get better

Had slap surgery Aug 28th of LAST year. Shoulder ‘pops’ out of joint from time to time while stretching.Still have mild to intense pain. How do I make this a better situation? I need to use arm physically daily for work. Took 3 months off after surgery followed by 6 weeks PT. Have full range of motion back but not without suffering later. Take motrin for pain. have nothing stronger.
