surgery is the last resort. What are you doing right now to increase your shoulder health?

My brother in law does these surgeries, He highly recommended to not have it done unless you could no longer stand the pain...
A orthopedic I consulted with said the same on the amount of weight you should pick up, and that you won't have the range of motion you had...but the pain will be gone... Also said an emphatic NO to recoil from firing guns, and that if the surgery fails, it's a mess to "maybe" fix it. And to make it even more fun, the rehab was difficult.
It wasn't an awe inspiring visit.... Are you just talking about long guns? I shoot handguns all the time with no problem. My family doctor also told me the same thing about waiting for surgery until it got to the point I couldn’t do every day activities very well. I waited 25 years when I was first diagnosed with degenerative arthritis. It was finally time for me and as I said, I am glad I did it. I am a lot better for it but everybody and surgeries and recovery can be different.

Mine was done a few years ago due to an accident.
No one can know a solid answer to your question other than the doc. No two are exactly the same. Depends on what’s torn up. The one sure thing for all is do the PT just exactly how they tell you to and then some. As said you’ll be sleeping in a recliner the first week or so after. If you don’t do well with pain make sure you stay on top of your meds, don’t get behind.
It’ll work out.
