Rotator Cuff Repair Shoulder Treatment in India

Rohan Garcia, 52, is a high school art teacher and avid weekend tennis player. Over the past year, he noticed a persistent, deep ache in his right shoulder that worsened when he raised his arm to paint on large canvases or served a tennis ball. A sudden, sharp tear during a match left him unable to lift his arm at all. An MRI confirmed a full-thickness tear of his supraspinatus tendon. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Lee, recommended an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to restore function and prevent the tear from enlarging and becoming irreparable. Rohan was anxious about the surgery and the long recovery, fearing he wouldn't be able to teach or paint effectively. The procedure went smoothly. The first two weeks in a sling were frustrating, but he diligently followed his physical therapy protocol. After four months of gradual strengthening, he regained nearly full range of motion. By six months, he was back to painting murals and playing gentle doubles tennis. Emotionally, he transitioned from frustration and fear to immense relief and patience, learning to appreciate the incremental wins in his recovery.
