I had Rotator Cuff surgery on my r-shoulder, I had the pain pump, I had more pain after surgery than I had before, After the pain pump was taken out, I felt more relieved, I had grinding and pop severe pain, The doc. told me, Well the men that have this surgery get over this in 6 wks, The grinding and popping lead to a 2nd, surgery on the same arm same place, I ask why I didn’t have the pain pump on this surgery, they told me they packed the moriphine into my should prior to closing it up, I still need a 3 surgery due to the pain The last Doctor that did my evaluation for the insurance company told me, It would do more damage to fix the problem I would have to learn to live with the pain.

I had shoulder surgery in 1995 ( momphured procedure ) all was good. In 2003 was told I had bone spurs and needed arthroscopic surgery.
Well when they went in with the scope they pulled it out and cut me open – said I had 2 many spurs to use scope. They still used a pain pump for the first day or two. They said I wil always have shoulder pain. I have constant poping and grinding, when I go to lift heavy things it feels like pulling on your finger to make it crack but doesnt. Its getting harder and harder to function, But I have 3 kids so I have to keep working and moving that shoulder till I cant.

I had Major Reconstructive Rotator Cuff surgery May 1st of 2008.
Within 4-5 weeks my arm & shoulder were and still are far worse than pre-surgery.
Grinding, popping and major loss of Range of Motion are my symptoms accompanied by constant ache and sharp pains with every movement of right arm.

I had surgery on August 13, 2004. I had a pain pump but it was in my belly button but I have suffered a lot of shoulder pain. I just thought it was old age. I had my uterus took out.
