At age 29 I had my first bursitis attack in right shoulder, "babied" it for another 29 years. One year ago, holiday time (Thanksgiving - Christmas) 2012, the pain in right shoulder was extremely severe to hinder good times with family and friends. In February 2013 I sought a surgeon who upon results of MRI right shoulder wanted to repair two huge rotator cuff tears immediately. Albeit the left shoulder showed same signs of pain; MRI revealed a partial tear. Surgeon wanted to surgery right then left 3 months later. My daughter who was a clinical research assistant for major pharmaceutical companies and a bachelor's degree in biology, searched the internet for surgical techniques for my review. Hence she came upon doctors in Colorado who did PRP and stem cell injections at time of surgery (or not). Since my first surgeon did not do PRP or stem cell therapy, daughter searched the internet for someone local, hence our coming to Dr. Bennett for my first visit in October 2013. November 15, 2013 was surgery by Dr. Bennett to repair my very bad rotator cuff tears x2 and more. What a successful result with having PRP at surgery, and now 8 weeks post-op with physical therapy, I (and Dr B) feel the result is beyond the normal range of recovery. Albeit I was one of the 20% of people, mainly women (via internet search) who experience right hand and right breast swelling, with a much painful hand, at 4 weeks post-op I was able to again type my normal 75-100 words per minute, and can now seek work again. Hooray!! and God Bless Dr. Bennett. Regarding the left shoulder, there is a partial rotator cuff tear, which after consulting with Dr. Bennett, we've agreed to try physical therapy and PRP injections afterwards to try to avoid surgery. Thank you.
