That is why he sent you home, you may not need the operation at all.  I would go for a second opion though.  I had the same thing happen to me, but I was better in a day or two.  I did not need the operation.  But since you are still in pain go in again. A second opion is always a good thing.  ( if you have insurance to cover it)

I had it a couple of years ago, not as an emergency.  Easy surgery, I was back up and feeling ok in a couple of days.

The doctors may wait to make sure that they retrieved all of the tumor before going forward with any other measures.  I dont know what the effect on his balance, etc. will be, but he can have his inner ear reconstructed.  I know someone who has had both of his ears done and hears more now than he has in years.\n\nGood luck to him.

I am assuming you have already had it set and in a cast.  Then the best thing you can do is follow your doctors orders.  You need to rest it and keep it elevated.  Take a good multi vitamin to help w/ healing.  You are looking at about 6 weeks of recovery time here.  Remember, rest and elevation and follow doctors orders.  You cant go wrong there.

That is such a major surgery that i would be carefull taking any advice from the internet. It's not the common cold question. you should ask your physician who will probably make that determination based on your individual case. People heal at different rates. It probably wouldn't be wise to base your actions on someone elses experience. Especially not knowing their health background and such. I'm sure if you called your doctor tomorrow then he/she will be able to tell you.

first go to your doctor and explain your situation. if he is listening he will send you to a prosthetics store for your brace.

Surgery. And a long recovery period. :(

It was really cool. Out of all the surgeries I had, not much pain at all. The doctor did the "key-hole" technique where they cut down and around the nipple, remove the excess tissue, then lift everything up and close. It was an almost 6 hr surgery and he removed 9 lbs. I woke up with an IV, a PCA (pain control pump) and a catheter. I had 2 drains, which he took out before I was discharged. It sounds very technical, but it was not bad. I had to stay wrapped with the ace wrap for over 6 weeks. I went back to work on the 3rd week. I felt great. And, after suffering with large, saggy breasts my whole life ( the final size was a 54i before surgery) i was very pleased to be a perky 48B. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Best of luck to you.

Never saw one of these done before.  It seems once fused your ROM is going to be limited.  I suspect that it will also affect your strength as well.  I guess that's better than having a chronicly dislocated shoulder.  I personally sublux my shoulder and it hurts to the point of passing out but as with subluxations it eventually slips into place again.\n\nGood luck, I hope the surgery improves your situation.\n\nhttp://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/arthrodesis_of_the_shoulder

Get wrist braces and/or a wrist support.  Sit properly at your desk.  Supposedly St. John's Wort helps, but I don't know if that's valid or not.  If it gets too horrible, there's surgery, but I'm sure that's not fun.

Check for Dr. Zenko Hrynkiw in Birmingham, AL.  He did a discectomy on me in 1991 and I haven't had any problems since.  Although his name sounds foreign, his parents were from Western Europe, he is very much a regular guy.  He's a graduate of John Hopkins, and very highly regarded in his field.

Everyone heals differently, so there is not a firm answer to this.  Also, what is your definition of "recover"?  You'll be out of the recovery room in a matter of minutes to hours.  There will be swelling and soreness for a week or so.  Full tissue strength after any surgery takes 12 weeks.\n\nCosts vary widely based on location, and by practitioner.  Call some plastic surgeons in your area and ask them.
