Velocity after Labrum Surgery

i heard the velocity really drops after labrum surgeyr. I think only one person recovered fully.

A friend and teammate from my team had labrum surgery in November. DHed the first 4 games of the season then became an all-section 1st baseman. Hasn't been back on the mound yet and can't make a throw further than maybe 100, 120 feet but has definitely made progress

I had posterior labrum surgery on January 9th. Right now i am stillin my throwing program and am currently at 120 ft. I am supposed to be done with it by mid july or end of july after finising at 180 ft. It feels pretty good throwing for the most part but still tight inside and stuff when stretching and doing other stuff.

Its going to take a while to come back to normal. I had surgery in November and still not back to near 100 percent. I can throw around 250 feet but the velocity is not even close to being back to normal. A friends brother had this surgery his junior year of high school and is now throwing 92 at U of E. It just takes time, some say around a year to get back to normal. What I found is that swimming helps out big time. Its a good way to break up the scar tissue. My advice is to take it easy on the recovery and not get ahead of yourself.

I have been gettin prolotherapy injections every 2 weeks or so for some time now. It def. helps and is speeding the process up.

NJBASEBALL21 - Could you tell us more about this Prolotherapy treatment. Do you need to see a special doctor - how long do the treatment last - what do the treatments (injections exactly do - are they really helping you ? I herd some good things about this treatment maybe you can shed some insight and anybody Else who may have experience this type of treatment. THANKS SO MUCH AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Yes you need to see a special doctor. I live in NJ and there is only one or two doctors here that do it. It is not covered by insurance so it can get pricey, but it seems worth it. I feel if i knew about it before i had surgery and i would be healed by now, but the surgery and scar tissue pain and stuff is a lil tough to get rid of.

The injections act like the opposite of cortizone. They regrow tendons and ligaments, etc. because it causes inflamation so that your body sends more blood to the injured area. Iceing and cortizone dont let blood get to the injured area to heal it.
