David Gupta, a 42-year-old software engineer...
David Gupta, a 42-year-old software engineer and weekend tennis enthusiast, had been struggling with persistent pain and stiffness in his right shoulder for over a year. An MRI confirmed a significant rotator cuff tear, likely from repetitive overhead motions. The pain was now constant, disturbing his sleep and making even simple tasks like reaching for a coffee mug agonizing. After months of failed physical therapy and corticosteroid injections, his orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, recommended an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. David was terrified of surgery and the potential impact on his career and ability to play with his kids. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. The initial recovery in a sling was frustrating, but he committed diligently to his post-op physiotherapy. Six months later, David has regained nearly full range of motion and strength. The constant ache is gone. Emotionally, he transitioned from feeling like his body was betraying him to empowered by his recovery discipline. He's back to coding pain-free and can gently volley with his daughter, filled with gratitude for his restored function.
