Doc wants to do surgery. Have any of y'all had this problem? Did you have surgery?

Sorry, not an orthopedic surgeon. But I am an amateur gynecologist.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I had the reverse shoulder done 10 weeks ago. I go to rehab 3 times a week, bought most of the equipment they have me use and I do my routine twice a day, every day, just recently increased it to 3 times a day. I am within 10degrees of full stretch, but still below what I should be in strength, but it can't be because I'm an old man. I have no pain, would do it again in a heartbeat. Cannot shoot a gun for a couple more months. Mine was not tore, just bone on bone.

Yep. I tore mine completely into when I fell off a roof. Here's the procedure my Dr. used to fix it: Allograft shoulder reconstruction

Look into https://www.bioxcellerator.com/ and do your homework on shoulder repairs. The potential outcome is lifetime permanent.

My right shoulder is testament to that. Shoulders are trick. Recovery from surgery blows big time.

Why’d you fall off a roof?

Why’d you fall off a roof? Actually the fall wasn’t that bad, it’s the landing that was a b____! DF

Not quite a complete tear but my arm was worthless before surgery. Rehab sucks and takes a while.
If it's her dominant arm she'll appreciate a bidet and electric tooth brush.

Shoulder pain is terrible. I had frozen shoulder syndrome in both shoulders. Couldn't sleep except for on my back with arms to the sides, brushing teeth was near impossible and good luck pulling a starter cord. Finally convinced my wife to tear them for me one night while I got near pass out drunk. That was some serious pain but the relief was almost instantaneous.

I suffered a complete tear while on a fire call in 2005. The muscle retracted to the point that it couldn't be reattached. I worked hard in rehab to the point that my surgeon said he never had a patient with that injury recover that much strength.
My only problem is a lack of strength lifting above my head. Can't do it. Didn't affect my ability to work for another 18 years. Just retired June 30.
I would imagine that they've probably perfected ways to repair such an injury since '05.
I'll offer a prayer for your girlfriend's complete recovery.

I had a complete tear off, had arthroscopic surgery to repair. Did PT to strengthen muscles prior to surgery, sent home with a cold water pump for the shoulder. PT after surgery was passive for the first 8 weeks, I went in and laid down while the therapist stretched the muscles in my shoulder. There was substantial pain involved, the final 8 weeks was the same exercises as I did for a medium/large tear in the other shoulder. I have pretty much full range of motion in both shoulders, only limitation is that I cannot work over my head for a prolonged period of time.
