Rotator cuff surgery

surgery? My doctor is suspecting mine is torn, haven't had the MRI yet. I have heard about terrible recovery times, pain, etc., after such surgery and was wondering if any of you have had the surgery and how long it has taken to get back to transcribing. Checked some sites on the internet and they say that typing should not be much of a problem after a few days after the surgery but was wanting to hear from an MT who has acutally had it done. ...

I would like prayer for my husband and for myself. My husband needs a surgery to fix his vertebraes in his neck and we have been looing for a way to get it done. I have applied at the state and it is held up until and if they do select our name. I have been looking for a medical grant of some sort to get it paid. Also, I am going to start school in March,2010 for MEdical Transcriptionist, and I have received a pell grant but I need a way to pay my living costs while I go ...

I am just trying to get as much info as possible. Looks right now like it will be a RNY in India (insurance does not cover it, cost including air fair and all medical costs around $8,000 compared to 25-30,000 in the USA.) Has anyone here gone through it and how was the process? Was it open or lap? What was the recovery time? How have you adapted to the dietary changes afterwards? ...

If so, do you need readers for computer work? How soon did you return to transcribing? ...

How soon after cataract surgery did you return to transcription? What lens did you have implanted? I have beginnings of cataracts and am considering RLE (refractive lens exchange). Has anyone tried this? I am not a LASIK candidate because of dry eyes and large pupils. ...

I am having upcoming surgery and do not want to use what little bit of sick time I have (because then I'm in a pickle if I get the flu or something). I inquired if I could use a few vacation days and then have a few off unpaid if needed (because I often use vacation days for necessary things rather than something pleasant). I was told I could either go the FMLA route and will have to eat up any sick time I have or have to use all vacation time, which will wipe mine out. Do most ...

Did anyone have surgery for de Quervain's tenosynovitis? I had one injection a year ago, which resolved the issue. However, a few months later the condition returned worse than ever. My surgeon said the procedure "usually" eliminates the problem, but scar tissue may form which would cause pain, and the need for an additional procedure. ...

I'm hoping someone on this board will have had, or know someone who has had, vein ablation therapy, also called EVLT and EVLA. It's done in the doctor's office under Versed twilight sedation and local numbing medicine in each incision on the leg. I have chronic venous insufficiency, which has, over the past year, taken a toll on my life. I have constant aching pain in both calves every waking moment. The pain even wakes me in up from sleep. Both ankle ...

Enough to say to the world that his colleagues are not owned by or subordinate to Trump. I don't have the stomach to call myself a pub after what they've done for 40 years, but he makes me proud anyway. Order, what a concept. Bet wanna be king Trump is furious. McCain has more balls than ANY of those who defend Trump's incompetent narcissistic words and actions ...

I've been a MT for about 30 yrs. I had to go on disability due to back pain, then had 2 back surgeries. Thank God the neurosurgeon did a GREAT job and I'm ready to go back to work, but I HAVE to get up at least once an hour to walk for like 15 minutes. What do I tell (if I do) a prospective employer that I have this problem? How do I do this? I've got to get back to work now! Thanks! ...

I decided to contact one of the managers where I had my cataract surgery about 4 weeks ago now as striving to see what other options might be open for me. Needless to say I do not have any desire to return to the original surgeon, not that he failed but with his flaring up about a perfectly innocent comment from me, will not trust him in going forward with any tweeking that might need to be done. I have an appointment to see the manager on Monday. I like to speak face to face with a person, not ...

So I went to the orthopedist in May, had xray of my shoulder. At that time it was popping quite a bit and hurting (hurting that is until I got to the office, but you know how that is). Bottom line, xray done, doctor studied for a minute (could see his scanning as he was directly outside the room pondering the radiograph). He said you can just watch and if it should become more painful then surgery. Ok so it got worse over these few months. Am trying to sit operation up, getting okay from PCP (to ...

Wish had never had nerve block to help with pain afterwards, now neck pain, etc. and just seeing if any others had this happen to them. ...

Cousin to have the other leg operated on today. It is his femur and they will put him on his stomach for that. He is still having much pain, but he wished his mother Happy Birthday which meant a lot to her. He doesn't stay awake long though. Please pray for him. This leg has a worse chance to have infection. So far temp is 97. ...

Hi Fellow MTs: I was wondering if anyone that has had their GB out has had any pain with the trocar sites that bothered them. I am 1 month out from GB surgery and it seems as though I have more pain in one of these sites than the others. It is a slight throbbing type pain and I have good days and bad days with some nausea, but not a lot. Luckily I have Phenergan for nausea. I know that some people have GB symptoms after surgery but it w ...

I am getting free healthcare right now (lost job). I have severe hallux valgus deformity with hammer toe #2 toe. It is obviously painful and I can't walk without pain and need to find a job. I am on unemployment now and this would be the perfect time to do the surgery so I have time to heal. Doctor said come back in four months. Is it because I am getting free healthcare? It's a program here in Cleveland at Metrohealth Medical Center that just started this summer. Just wondering ...
