painful

Sounds a lot like my repair. I tore it just prior to a 6 month deployment, and the Doc onboard downplayed it, saying it was just a strain, then just tendonitis, then finally, "oh well, I'll get you in for an MRI after deployment". 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.
