After I swam for a month in Oct. in pain,I had an X-ray and then MRI to show that I have a partially torn rotator cuff. Doc says it "should heal by itself, given time" How long an my age of almost 75 will this take and no guarantee to a positive result is unknown to me.
Have any of had this type of surgery done and what are your results?
How long is recovery?
What do think of the repair after going back to swimming?
I have been pretty good at IM and fly.
Will I be able to recovery enough to continue these strokes?
Thanx to all that offer advice.
Jim --- that is a good q look into what to expect . I think at this point, I should do the surgery now in this 2020 screwed up year of the swimming and regular world events.
a year from now should put me in the early season os S C swimming here in Chicagoland. Have heard of the recliner doe sleep also.
To all with info help, thanx for giving me insight from swimmers, as we are the strange ones that tax our shoulders WAY more than mere mortals!!
