Here is an update to my ongoing saga of my shoulder injury.
I went to the surgeon today she was a pretty nice lady. She said the rotator cuff injury is too bad to repair with surgery. So for now I am going to continue with physical therapy to try to strengthen my arm and improve range of motion and functionality.
And I guess in the future the possibility is there I can replace the whole shoulder joint.
But I'm not gonna do that right now.
Find a new orthopedist. Rotator cuff injuries can heal...if they are minor enough. Past a certain point hey will NEVER heal without surgical intervention. And a joint replacement does NOTHING for the rotator cuff....it merely replaces the bones...not the related soft tissues. Find ortho who specializes in shoulders.
