I came to see Dr. DiFelice in August 2014 for a shoulder injury I sustained during a vacation in Mozambique a month before. I was trying to "work through" the pain- but that was only making the injury worse. The MRI confirmed I had a tear in my Biceps tendon and in my rotator cuff. Dr. DiFelice performed my surgery on November 4, 2014. My biggest fear was that I was not going to be able to be active in the way I had previously been. I have been maintaining an 80+ pound weight loss for over 10 years and was afraid that without the activity level I had the weight would come back. After 1 week I was able to start walking and riding a stationary bike. Within 6 months I was able to restart my yoga practice, hike, and swim. A year later I am almost back to full capacity- running, scuba diving, and cross training. Thank you to the team at HSS for helping me recover from my injury.
