[QUOTE="Steve St.Laurent, post: 1167370, member: 66902"] I've had 3 shoulder surgeries - 2 on the left, 1 on the right. All due to injuries sustained when I was road racing in the late 80's that aggravated over time. Having been through this and seen others go through it as well your recovery will be largely dependent on how closely you follow your surgeons instructions after the surgery and how hard you work at PT. I suggest when they give you exercises to do ask them if you should do more of any particular exercise (ex 4 times a day instead of 3, 20 reps instead of 10, etc). In some cases they will say yes that would be good, in others they'll say no just stick to what we suggested. The reason for that is that they often times will prescribe less than optimal because they know that most people if they give them too much will give up and not do any. We motorcyclists are not most people :) . I've found that you'll be mostly healed (say 85%) after a year and 100% after 2 years - 100% of what you'll have from then on, not 100% of what you were pre-injury. Rarely will you ever heal 100% from any major injury. That said it sure hasn't slowed me down much. My last shoulder surgery was mid year 2004 and I started trail riding the beginning of '06 - and I crashed a LOT! Good luck [/QUOTE]
