Understand completely. I was very frustrated by the differing opinions I received. My last doc told me I would need a complete shoulder replacement in 3-5 years and that I needed to stop lifting or it would be sooner. That was almost five years ago, and I’m doubly as strong now as I was then. He also said there were no effective options other than replacement, which is dead wrong. There are plenty that give one an opportunity to avoid a replacement, sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. I’m sure as Hell going to try them all before I get a replacement. Best of luck to you, brother.
