Tore a rotator cuff this past spring...had to put a hold on tennis and golf for a time--had a hard time even lifting the arm past shoulder height. A visit to Doc and a cortisone shot cut the pain by probably 70% to the point where I can play golf and tennis again. As long as cortisone does the trick I wouldn't even consider surgery.

The fun part was watching the needle go into my shoulder on some kind of portable monitor machine he had.
