Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?

IMO this protein will not heal the tendon per se but with exercising the surrounding muscles, under guidance, you can improve the quality of your movements and try to live the best with this tear. Strengthening the adjoining muscles would also reduce the chances of aggravating the problem.Just eating whey protein, without exercising, will do close to nothing for your body.

Exercises will help more - there are some good ones in the book Bulletproof Your Shoulder that can help prevent a tear too.

Light rehab exercises + ice will heal it. I tore mine about 7 years ago and today I have 100% confidence in my shoulder. Don't do any exercise which hurts... find another exercise. For me it was barbell/machine incline bench, I replaced with dumbbells and no more issues.

No over head shoulder presses only side laterals for strengthening shoulders.

No it won't help. I had a similar problem. There are exercises that you can do when your rotator cuff tear heals enough to keep movement going and/or being as limited

Platinum Hydro Whey has more protein/serving (6g more, I believe), because it's not just purified protein, but also hydrolyzed. The hydrolyzation process breaks protein down further, which makes it easier and faster to absorb, hence making it more efficient. That being said, I can't tell the difference in results... Probably because I'm not actually an intense athlete, I just work out and I don't like feeling sore so I drink a shake. I think the general consensus, is that Hydro Whey is only really worth the extra money if you're doing some really intense working out. In terms of taste, I detect a little bit of an after taste. I prefer Gold Standard, but Hydro Whey does seem to be creamier/richer.

I had rotator cuff surgery back in 07 which is why I bought another one of these. You can ease in to the work out and limit the amount of force you exert. However I would not recommend using this to it's full extent until you are completely healed. When all else fails ask your Surgeon or Physical Therapist for their recommendation.

My opinion is that is for those who would use it as a meal replacement on a restricted diet to lose weight. It says on the label that it is should be used to "increase the protein in the diet" -- I am two years post-op bariatric surgery and I use it to make sure I get enough protein in my diet but it is not my only source of nutrition or even protein.

This is on the recommended list of drinks from my bariatric surgeon. I've lost significant amounts of weight using this as a meal replacement. Five shakes a day, no cheating, will yield excellent results in a short time period. I've had bariatric surgery, so you should check with your doctor before starting a calorie restricted protein diet.

I suggest you speak to an orthopedic specialist. Everyone is different. I had shoulder surgery to repair a damaged rotator cuff and I use kb regularly. But, you should speak to an orthopedist.

Absolutely, man. Whey is one of the highest quality protein out there. Take it after your workouts and you won't feel as sore. After a week or two start taking after your workouts and before bed with some milk. Obviously you're going to have to diet and excersize but ya whey will definitely lean you out.

I did not; I just switched back to using a whey protein powder. But I appreciate the suggestion.

No it does not if anything it will make you gain weight because of the whey proteins and its such high amounts of protein. It's meant for someone who is trying to bulk up or lifts weight a lot.

Eating more protein will not make you bulk up. Eating, lifting heavy and resting will bulk you up. This is ideal for eating after your run. You should also eat some sugar (like tossing a handful of M&M's into the blender) to replenish your glycogen. Another good idea is to have some of their casein protein right before you go to bed. Whey is good first thing in the morning and after a workout (it is fast digesting) and casein is good before bed.

This is a topic of much debate... Or should I say, has been a topic of much debate. Recent study has indicated that "loading" creatine (i.e., taking multiple dosages per day to fulfill a certain requirement) produces no increase in overall performance and lean body mass when compared to subjects using creatine exclusively as a post-workout supplement. That being said, post workout supplementation is optimal with creatine. Add it to your post workout protein shake (preferably whey protein isolate). Depending on your body composition, you can also facilitate absorption and glycogen replenishment by adding some carbs into that shake, like dextrose. I hope this helps!

I didn't find anything that say whey protein in the ingredient. But you can more by going to website http://everythinggenius.com/network/bodyglo/category/superfood-ingredients/

You didn't mention the source of your low carb protein power. MRM's whey protein is very low carb - 1.5 grams per serving and is has a very high nutritive value and low calories. Hope that helps.

I had a rotator cuff injury and got the classic size sold here. If you are in a lot of pain and just starting therapy, you may want to start with the yellow smaller Bodyblade® CxT Kit. The body blade helped me tremendously. I didn't start using it until after I went through conventional physical therapy - which never completely helped me. Since using the Body Blade, I have zero pain even though I had two partially torn rotator cuffs and bicep impingement.

Clear in color, it is great for healing external wounds of all kinds...I have used it topically after surgery for boosting healing. I also take it internally to boost my immune system...do no know if it has protein....

This can very greatly but a good approach is to take a protein and creatine supplement. Before, some people will take a Nitric Oxide (NO) product to get blood flow but a simple caffeine product will work fine. I find personally and it has been heavily researched that taking whey protein and creatine monohydrate after works very well. However, after taking the protein and creatine, it is important to take a simple carbohydrate source. This will be immediately used to repair damaged muscle tissue and will help bring the protein and creatine directly into the muscles. As far as during goes, I usually don't take anything but some people will supplement with Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs).

This protein drink was suggested by a nurse to help with my healing. It is working and does give me more energy. As far as weight lifiting I think any protein powder is helpful.
