To all my peeps here with shoulder pain ( rotated cuff or bicep tendinitis) two months ago I got both of those fixed and I will say it was worth it. I’ve been back to playing this week!! And my shoulder hurts less now than it did before. My physical therapist is dope she’s incorporating playing into my home PT.
Recommendations
-
don’t rush back into playing I got cleared after 6 weeks but needed more time to get range of motion back
-
Do your home exercises as prescribed they do a bunch even when you don’t think they are.
-
Take the down time to learn more about music ( I learned about different players and how they play)
-
Finger exercises were awesome when in the sling for 6 weeks.
-
Take it slow when playing feel it out!
I hope this gives you some hope if you are thinking about or are doing a shoulder surgery. It’s the best choice I’ve ever made!
