I had a rotator cuff repair about 7 years ago. If you have pain and/or reduced functionality then you may be a candidate for a repair. For me, the pain was something I could not live with. Typically, you will be sent to physical therapy first to see if the symptoms can be reduced to an acceptable level. Mike Moser in Gainesville did the procedure and the outcome was good. Typically, you are in a sling for 6 weeks. I was back to full golf swings at 16 weeks and pitching and putting as soon as the sling came off. The first 6 weeks in the sling is the most challenging; sleeping can be problematic. Rehab starts the day after the surgery and is typically 2-3 times a week for 16 weeks, YMMV.
