But when I try to get my wallet out from the left hip pocket, it hurts me. So I researched my options and did all I can to do physical exercises recommended by various MDs and Physical Therapists on Youtube. It is manageable but not getting any better. So, before I consider shoulder surgery, I ask you experienced people who have gone thru this. what, if any, options have/have not worked? I had what you call "50's shoulder" 20 years ago. As I recall, I had one steroid injection and it fixed it. So if I consider that option, where in the villages should I go?
Any recommendations and sharing of your Good, Bad and Ugly stories would be appreciated.

Cheers!
I was getting cortisone shots every 6 months. Arthroscopic surgery repaired a medium tear in the cartilage. Going to have the second shoulder done when we come back from the great white north in the fall. Dr. Locker in Ocala is the best he can answer what can be done.

Good luck
