I am 51 years old and live in Houston. At 42 years old, I had a surgery to repair my labrum. It turned out I had a degenerative shoulder which my doctor was unable to repair. Over the years my shoulder deteriorated into a degenerative shoulder, torn rotator cuff and partially separated bicep tendon. In December 2018, I went back to my doctor and talked to him about any new solutions for my shoulder. He told me there were none at this point.
I have 3 boys and coached them all their young athletic lives. My shoulder left me unable to throw a baseball/football and unable to shoot a basketball. I had very, very limited range of motion. I continued to work around my shoulder in the gym. I work out almost every day. Through a gym injury I found myself at Propel Therapy in Houston who was doing therapy on one of Dr. Bailie’s patients at the time, it was this patient’s second Copeland procedure. Needless to say I reached out to Dr. Bailie and his team.
At the end of September 2018, I had my Copeland procedure as well as repaired the rotator cuff and bicep tendon. After 5 months and 1 day of rehab, through the guidance of Propel Therapy, I am now starting to throw a baseball for the first time in 8 years. I still have a ways to go but I am truly blessed and grateful for Dr. Bailie and his team to give me the ability to do something I never thought I would be able to do again.
Dr. Bailie and his team were amazing through the entire process. Dr. Bailie’s team is extremely helpful and quick to respond to every question. Dr. Bailie has been extremely helpful throughout out the entire process; he himself is quick to respond, easy to talk to and a very genuine person.
There is no doubt today, any one I know that has a shoulder problem I would highly recommend/insist they go see Dr. Bailie and his team, even with them being in a different city. I can’t thank him and his team enough for giving me the opportunity to do things everyone else said would not be possible.
