Hi All, My focus arm repair on Monday went well I am glad to report. The Surgeon reports a small tear was sewn, a large spur was ground off, and a bad case of bursitis. Incredibly happy to report that the steps to minimize my pain load in order to reduce my blood sugars stresses have worked quite well. Combination of nerve block, medication titration, and a hightech continuously chilled shoulder wrap have things healing speedily.
