I had rotator cuff and torn bicep tendon surgery on July 11 and I am not even close to being able to play golf. The healing takes a long time and a lot of stretching and strength exercising long after PT and OT (I had 6 weeks in home PT and 7 weeks outpatient OT). I use weights every day and only this week went up to 8 lbs. and taking 8 over my head is a little scary right now so I'm only doing a few per day, prior to that it was 5# after 3# after 2#, after stretch bands to build up strength slowly. I was told I am 60% healed and to get to 80% takes 8 months and fully healed at about 1 year. I don't want to have to start all over by jumping the gun to play golf. I am getting my other one fixed (identical injury) on January 9th so I don't see myself playing until late 2019 assuming all goes well.
