Torn labrum - how long before I'm back to throwing a ball like normal?

So I've had a torn labrum for about 5 years and have just dealt with the pain. The past 8 or so months the pain has gotten a lot worse. I'm about to bite the bullet and have surgery. How long before I'm back to throwing a ball like normal? Doc told me 4-6 months recovery. But is that 4-6 months to being able to play sports or to being able to use my shoulder w/o pain and light workouts.

If you do relentless rehab you can throw in 5 Months. Unless you have to I don't recommend trying to throw hard for a lo g time. Your range of motion won't be the same. Strength will come back completely but throwing is a different animal.

I had a torn labrum, bicep tendon, and a partial tear of the rotator cuff and 4 months after surgery is when I could really start to push it. The hardest part was keeping my arm immobilized in that sling for 8 weeks after surgery. It’s been 7 years and the only problem I’ve dealt with is bone spurs that developed under my collarbone, nothing real serious.

It takes a year. Push it early and you could end up in the same boat.

Had labrum surgery 13 years ago. Shoulder strength after a couple years was better than ever. However range of motion different and slight slumping forward of the shoulder in resting position. I still won't try to throw a ball at maximum power. No. Need to. I can pitch several buckets of baseballs to my 5 year old and feel fine but I'm not heating it up. I can toss a football around but never try to throw over 15 yards or so.

I had surgery in July , and I haven’t attempted to throw a ball yet . I had 5 anchors placed in my arm and slowly trying to get my strength back , I don’t want to push it because I’m not a young buck anymore lol

My labrum is fricked. I had prolotherapy on both shoulders a little over a month ago. Left shoulder feels good, right one still sucks. Left one had a lot of laxity, but the ultrasound showed decent structure. He saw so many little tears in my right one, though, that he called it, and I quote “trash.” I think it is just too far gone for prolo or PRP.
Any surgeons in LA that y’all have good luck,with? I know Fields in Baton Rouge and Savoie in New Orleans are highly recommended. Or were. One of the things I am best at is throwing a baseball and football. Haven’t been able to in a few years. Really disappointing I can’t throw with my son. Sucks for both of us.

Dr. Mark Hontas in Covington repaired my acl/lcl and my shoulder, no complaints from me but he’s the only orthopedic surgeon I’ve ever dealt with.

When do you throw a ball?
Posted on 12/4/17 at 8:58 pm to Neauxla
Year and a half removed and I still can't throw like I used to. Seems to be very stiff. I have not gotten my full range of motion back yet. Oh...I workout every day!

It really depends on the severity of tear.
Are we talking SLAP, Bankart, Reverse bankart.
If a slap are we talking grade 1,2,3,4?
