Have they done x-rays and MRIs yet? I had my rotator cuff done by a very good orthopedic surgeon, the Broncos team Dr. It's as good as new now. Even with all the diagnostics he wasn't sure what he'd find as far as the severity of the tear, apparently they can be hard to diagnose precisely. I went in knowing I might need rotator cuff repair, but not sure so it was at least partially exploratory. Just another data point.

Did a good hike with the dog yesterday and a bunch of yardwork.


I know a bit about those shoulders...

I tore my left labrum in 2012 and had it wired back together in 2013 after all the hunting seasons finished up....all better now...I have no pain and all of my range of motion back

Yep....X-Rays are always first then MRI's as per insurance protocol....all done....both knees
