I totally agree about the arse part if they are doing the shoulder which you are accustomed to for providing that service....I also use a blade razor, really amazing how you can't hardly shave in a mirror with your other arm, at least for awhile anyways.

I had put my surgery off for 4-5 years after the initial injury just to see if it would get better. Took the cortisone shots a few times which really only caused more pain for a while rather than any help. They did what they could with the arthroscope but ended up opening me up and doing some grinding on the bones also.

Recovery at least for me was frustrating because it took so long to get almost back to where I was before the injury. Work your butt off in therapy for the best results and to break up any scar tissue.

I am so glad that I finally had mine done, I often think why the heck did I put it off for so long. Pain free for over 15 years now, but I probably lost 10mph on my fastball.

Best of Luck to you,
