So long story short, fell on the ice last month and am scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks.
Two rotator cuff muscles are completely detached, plus the bicep tendon needs to be cut off and reattached lower on the bone due to scar tissue. Also MRI showed osteoarthritis in the AC joint.
I’ll be in a sling for 3 months or so, then 5 pound weight restriction til 6 months post surgery.
I’m 47, on TRT, and was doing really well with mass gains and joint aches doing high rep, lower weight, slow negatives.
So….Ill be staying in TRT obviously, and planning on walking and keeping the protein high, but any other advice? Any hopes of getting everything back after? I’ve been a recreational lifter pretty steady for 15 years or so have a good base to work with.
TIA for any advice/ promising stories lol
