Patient Reviews
Jul 22, 2022
I had a ruptured right rotator cuff diagnosed in 2011. If I extended my right arm, such as reaching for the car radio, my arm would drop to my side with a sharp pain. They said the nerve under the clavicle was getting pinched. Dr. Axelrod advised what the surgery would be and cautioned that my recovery would depend upon my following strict, long term (6 mo.) healing and PT. Most post-surgical failures he attributed to the patient's aggressive use of the unhealed area. I took his advice, lifted virtually nothing for months, then followed his prescribed PT (no weights except for my arm's weight) performing simple exercises and then "writting abc's" on a big exercise ball placed against a wall for months. After about 9 - 10 months post surgery, we (he) elevated my PT and began using weights, etc. My surgery was performed Dec. 2011. Now in 2022, my shoulder strength remains 100% strong, absolutely NO limitations in my range of motion. 5 Stars! Changed my life! Thanks Dr. A, !
