My shoulder healed from partially torn tendons and ligaments where I had serious restriction of use and range of motion. It's better now, 100% range of motion and strength has returned.
Guess what?

I never had surgery.
I never had cortisone shots.
I survived the pain and discomfort.

There's guys on this forum that mock that, but guess what?
There was no exposure to harmful drugs, infection, harmful antibiotics, anesthesia resulting in oxygen deprivation.

I won't argue with anyone else's decision. However, surgery is the only option given when you go to a surgical referral system with an injury like this. Most talk about some guy carving on a man as if the carving doesn't require healing. They need time and the proper raw materials in order to heal, surgery or not.

Diet, as in what we eat, has much to do with recovery from injuries believe it or not. Those of us who eat game should know this. If we ate what provides tendon repair and joint repair, there would be less money going to surgeons and script writers.
