Congratulations Scott on your progress on your shoulder. Recovering from a Rotator Cuff is never easy and we are glad that you are back out on the links. Onward and upward!

After 12 weeks of physical therapy, I finally have full range motion, flexibility and strength back in my shoulder. Recovering from a "massive" rotator-cuff tear is not easy and was very painful at times. Thanks to orthopedic surgeon, Dr. John Douglas and my physical therapist, Dr. Robert Pagnani, in helping me recover from an injury that turned out to be much worse than expected. I was told it would probably be 8 months or more to recover due to the severity of my injury.. Dr. Pagnani helped me cut that in half. I thank both doctors and staff for their encouragement, their expertise and motivation to work hard and see this through. I am also grateful for a supportive and patient wife, Kristin, who helped me get to this point. Thank-you. I finally got the go-ahead to get my sticks out and chase a little white ball around the links next month. Yay !

Have you ever twisted your knee and now your knee locks or catches? You may have a meniscus tear. Did you know that most of the meniscus does not have good blood supply to heal? Call Tooele Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Dr John A Douglas to have us evaluate your knee today.

The meniscus is comprised of two c-shaped wedges of cartilage that cushion and stabilize the knee joint. A torn meniscus can cause pain and limited mobility in the knee.
