Don't do it. I have 50%+ tears in both shoulder and simply use cortisone shots to control the pain.
This! I get the shot in my right shoulder, several years now and they last anywhere from 8-15 months. This tear is from normal wear and tear.
I had to have surgery in my left shoulder as it suffered a massive tear from a fall at work. DR I used practices a no sling recovery so the shoulder is free to move which made for a good recovery, which took 9 months. Check DR reviews before choosing! And good luck!
