re: Anyone here had shoulder surgery recently? (torn labrum)

Wont' fix the damage but could help you compensate so you can avoid surgery. They may also be looking at the p/t before surgery to help with the recovery process.

I tore my labrum back in ~2003 and have been able to avoid surgery so far. Dr told me he could do the surgery, but because of other issues I would still have problems with dislocations. Since I quit play in rec leagues, I have only had a few problems from time-to-time. Biggest limitations now are I cannot raise my arm straight over my head, and if I try to reach for something in an awkward position, I will most likely end up dislocating the shoulder due to a lesion under the rotator cuff tendon that cannot be removed.
