I've dealt with shoulder issues for years from playing sports and lifting. Usually I'll ice it and rest it a while and I'm good to go.
Well I tweaked it a couple weeks ago and the pain has been debilitating. I can't lift, I can barely sleep and I have limited use of my left arm due to the severe pain in my shoulder. I visited an Ortho earlier this week and an MRI confirmed both a torn rotator cuff and labrum. I have a follow up to discuss treatment options tomorrow and I'm certain the only option for full recovery is going to be surgery.
All I can think about is the time off from the gym, the muscle loss, the recovery. Will I ever get back to 100%? All these things scare the shit out of me to be honest and I already feel some depression setting in.
I'm trying to stay positive and start
looking ahead to think about rehab and recovery. I know there are peptides like BPC 157 and CJC 1295 that are great for healing and recovery. I'm curious if anyone has any experience with using these post surgery to aid in recovery.
I'd love to try physical therapy and peptides without surgery but based on the amount of pain I'm in and the extent of the injury, I'm afraid that won't be a option.
