I am recovering from the 2nd surgery on my left shoulder, which is the same arm I have been diagnosed with CUTS. I have postponed surgery but it has gotten progressively worse especially being in a sling for 2 weeks. My hands now go numb every night while sleeping.

I am not sure if I should go through the surgery and would like to hear the feedback from people here.

How long is the recovery from muscle transposition surgery before you can return to the weight room?

If your symptoms are not that sever do you have a better chance of recovery and returning to working out because right now (before shoulder surgery)( my elbows would be burning after the workout because the nerve subluxates over the elbow.

i was told by my doctor 3 months before I could start lifting again.

I believe the milder your sym before the operation the better your chances of a full recovery.

that said i feel its aways best to give conservative treatments a fair shot- as with any surgery there are potential risks, plus not all surgeries fix the problem, if the doctor make a mistake he could damage the nerve further. If you do go the surgery route make sure you select an good surgeon, one who has performed this specific procedure many many times (successfully of course)
