November 2009- Noticed shoulder was hurting when I did certain things- taking off shirt, pulling up pants, carrying Chase, etc. but thought maybe I pulled a muscle because this was when I started doing Tae Bo.
January 2010- Promised Mike I'd call the doctor in 2 weeks if the shoulder was still hurting.
February 2010 (three weeks later)- Went to the doctor for shoulder. Sent to hospital for an x-ray. X-ray showed nothing. Took ibuprofen.
March 2010- Had an MRI. Results: 1. Partial tear in the rotator cuff, 2. Slap lesion, 3. Other various small issues probably caused by the first two issues.
After meeting with the orthopedic surgeon we decided that surgery was the best option. Surgery is set for April 5.
After surgery:
In a sling for approx. 4 weeks.
Recovery 9 weeks.
LOTS of physical therapy.
Back to normal in 1 YEAR.
