Hi Everybody,
I've ripped up my rotator cuff wrestling with my wheelchair. I had a virtual visit with my doctor this morning and she recommended PT to start with. (One good thing about the virus! telehealth) But if the PT doesn't restore enough functionality then the other option is surgery. I am terrified of this, but I think that's where I'm heading. There doesn't seem to be much good info on how surgery effects ME/CFS. Surgery was also part of my initial disease trigger. I can't keep on with my arm as broken as it is. Can't use my wheelchair at all, let alone wash my hair.
Does anyone have thoughts or experience with this?
