Has anyone here been through having a shoulder surgery? Doc tells me I tore the suprasponatis (sp?) and that I need to have it repaired. The MRI doesn't show well enough to know if it is a full or partial tear. As of a month ago I did the cortizone injection which helped somewhat but is no longer helping and I'm still going through physical therapy. The funny thing is that I still have really good strength lifting, especially over head, but the mobility is for shiat. IOW, when I move arm in certaing directions, I get a shocking pain. I'm struggling with the decision to have this done because along with the rotator cuff issue, I have some mild arthritis in the joint. My fear is that after the surgery, the 2 months of not moving my arm, the physical therapy, and of course all of the pain, I might not be any better off than I am right now. Going to the gym and being physically fit are a really big part of my life. I don't want to invest the time into this surgery if it's not going to help. So far I've heard mixed reviews from people, but haven't talked to anyone who has gone through this specifically. Has anybody here been through this that might have some feedback? Thanks, Chris
