I'm having shoulder surgery. Does anyone have any tips or advice to make this time easier? (Answers: 3) (Comments: 0)
I'm having shoulder surgery within the next few weeks, and I am really nervous about how difficult everything is going to be after the surgery is done. Does anyone have any tips about ways to make my life a little easier after surgery? Right now, I'm looking around and realizing how much I NEED both hands/arms for, and getting a bit depressed over the idea of someone having to button my pants and cut my food for me for the next eight weeks.

How long does the pain last after arthroscopic shoulder surgery? (Answers: 1) (Comments: 0)
I dislocated my shoulder in the beginning of March. Got a second opinion 3 weeks ago and had surgery 2 weeks ago. My pain level is at a 10 if I do not keep up with the pain meds. I even have to take them earlier than the prescribed 4-6 hours. I am off work and need help. Any advice would be very much appreciated. I have 4 incisions to repair Bankart lesion.

What percentage of shoulder surgery is successful? (Answers: 2) (Comments: 0)
Broken shoulder didn't mend. The ball of the humerus for the shoulder is disinegrating and Dr. said that this particular surgery is a 50/50 type, meaning that range of motion may not improve with surgery. Can't understand why the humerus will be floating in my arm without surgery. Is it harmful? Any help out there?

When getting shoulder surgery and blood is drawn does it detect for drugs? (Answers: 3) (Comments: 0)
This is the problem, I work at a hospital and I need to get shoulder surgery. On occasions I smoke marijuana (please no preaching). My fear is that if they do blood test like for any normal surgery THC will come up and that would be no good for me because then I will be jobless. So IF they do draw blood which im sure they will, Do they look for any drugs or just certain things for that specific surgery. All answers are appreciated. Thank You. Thank you for all your answers!
