Got surgery at 1.00 pm.
Had a general anesthetic and was also offered a nerve blocker, they identify the nerve via ultrasound and then freeze it, supposed to give 24hrs of zero pain but it didnt work. Apparently this can happen.
Im being kept in over night because no one has been available to discuss aftercare or give me meds to take away.
All good. Just had some morhine and went for a wander. Found myself in an off limits area and while i was being escorted back to my room i bumped into the surgeon who did my op. Stroke of luck as i was told he had gone home so i wasnt going to get a summary of how it all went.
Anyhu he was more than happy to chat for 5 and told me it went really well and i definitely needed the tenodesis surgery despite previously not being convinced i would benefit from it. He also removed the bone spurs from my collar bone ( hopefully this will help with the hand pain as well as making things slide more freely.
I guess only time will tell but he is of the opinion that i will make a speedy recovery and my time in a sling will only be 2-3 weeks rather than 6 as is the standard.
Im pretty comfortable if quite sore but i can imagine a good few painfull nights coming up!

Good to hear it went well, wishing you a great and speedy recovery!!(y)
 
I had the nerve block during one of my shoulder ops; it was amazing. Just had this limp arm for hours which swung around; but zero pain for the first time in ages. Unfortunately it wore off in the middle of the night & I awoke to the worst pain I had ever known. Was almost crying; they must have beat the shit out of me during the surgery.

My arm itself is pretty dead as i accidentally undone my sling and dropped my arm ! But plenty of feeling in the shoulder. I have no doubt though that there will be a world of hurt to come. Especially as ive been prescribed tramadol to take home and that has never done a great deal for me.

Yea, thats what they gave me. I had to be propped up on the sofa with cushions; couldn’t move any which way. But it got better. You’ve got this Chiz 💪🏻
