I have been in this nightmare since march 2025. I had my shoulder surgery in August 2025 (rotator cuff repair and attached bicep back with anchors) had my knee surgery in Feb 2026 ( meniscus repair and debrisment). My shoulder has no range above the shoulder . My pt said I've reached a plateau and wants to end the therapy because it's not improving . Today I go in and she said she wants to close both my knee and shoulder case so she can combine them . She called it work retraining or something where basically I go there and work out . Is that normal ? I don't think my knee is better it still swells/buckles when I walk for more than 30-45 minutes still not strong uphill downhill. Should I do this and will it affect my case ? I don't want to give a false sense of my knee or shoulder is better because there not . Im so tired of this whole situation. Lost my job as truck driver of 10 years with the company in March. Not at mmi for either body part . I just want this to be over . Feeling dark defeated. Any advice appreciated.
