torn labrum

[Norman Stansfield]

The MRI showed a small cyst on the labrum and a bone spur that is probably what's causing the pain. The rotator cuff was OK.
We decided to give therapy a few more months to see if any of the pain will go away. If I get surgery, it won't be as bad as I thought. It would only mean a weekend, maybe a week at most, in a sling and light activity for six weeks.
I'm going to a seminar on Oct. 28 that a trainer is giving about working with shoulder problems.

Start spankin' it with your other hand ASAP. That way if you get the surgery, you'll be ready to go once you have the sling on.
