I have a torn Labrum on my left side, along with a bad rotator cuff. My right rotator cuff is worse. They've been this way for 10-12 years.
I have friend who's a Chiropractor & Physical Therapist to the stars. PGA Tour, New England Patriots, Boston Celtics.
His words to me were: "Having an orthopedic surgeon try to repair your shoulders, would be like trying to sew together, 2 pieces of wet toilet-tissue".
I don't claim ANY medical knowledge. I will tell you that I play at least 5 rounds of Championship Golf a week and maintain a single-digit handicap. There are non-surgical options and if you're active and don't want the down-time and recuperation period, do some research. I wouldn't let an Orthopedic Surgeon touch my shoulders at my age, if they offered me $100,000.
