Can One Resume Weightlifting After An Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Surgery?
Question: Hi, I have been dealing with a partial tear of my left rotator cuff for some time now. I have tried all conservative treatments and now have opted for surgery. I spoke with my dr and on January 30th am scheduled for an Arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery. If I follow a strict rehab schedule. Is it feasible to target XXXXXXX 1 as the day I return to weight lifting. Also how soon after rotator cuff surgery can I drive?
Brief Answer:
6 weeks
Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Yes, You can schedule the surgery for XXXXXXX 1st.
Since it's a partial tear you can drive by 6 weeks after the surgery however it is always important to get your surgeons opinion on the same.
