By the time I got the MRI, I had "frozen shoulder syndrome", AKA Adhesive Capulitis. I also had "Impingement Syndrome" which was caused by a bone spur on the under side of the acromion. The long term wear of the impingement syndrome was the underlying cause of my injury, according to my surgeon. I guess this is pretty common.
Good luck with the repair and recovery bro. I'm no medical expert, but if you want any insight or moral support, drop me a pm. You will also meet plenty of folks at PT at various stages of recovery.

Yep, I've got a bone spur also and the Doc believes that it finally caused the injury and that lead to the frozen shoulder. This all happened about three months ago while I was doing some yard work and swing a weedeater back and forth. The Orthopedist I'm seeing is a good man who I've dealt with in the past so it was nice getting a straight up assessment from the beginning.
