I still have to get an MRi but based on my symptons i have a torn labrum in my shouldler. Anyone have surgery or elect not to have the surgery and let it heal? Trying to weigh my options.

thats what i wanna figure out if its worth it to get the surgery or if i can just do rehab or take it easy for a couple of months. Guess i gotta wait fo rthe DR but they always say surgery

look it up on web md & learn more first. I know someone with a herniated disc & his dr said no surgery, so yoyu never know. Also depends on severity of the injury

surgery is always the last option. exhuast all your options before ever deciding on surgery

I had torn ligament in my elbow, that wasnt able to be worked out with physical therapy and torn rotator cuff that was able to be recovered through conventional pt and chiropractic
so it really depends on what you do as a living. do you do overhead activities, areyou a pitcher etc..
you should try conventional pt first. its usually 10 weeks 3x a week. so even if your insurance only allows a certain number of visits you'll be good for the rest of the year. if it doesnt work out then try getting operated on
Ive known 2 people with labrum surgery, one kids a 2nd baseman so he doesnt use it as often. but the other kid had is a pitcher and had it done by Dr. James Andrews the best orthopedic surgeon in the country and hes struggling.
Labrum surgery is very difficult and it is delicate there are many times the graft fails.
Good Luck with whatever you do

well its not for my proffession. Its more that i work out 5 to 6 times a week and have been doing so for the last ten years. I just want to get back to being helthy and not worrying about waking up in the middle of the night because im laying in a bad position on my shoulder.
