I just got back from my last visit with my sports medicine doctor and he has recommeded orthoscopic surgery on my shoulder. After at least nine months of xray's, an mri, a cortizone shot, and a great rehab program the pain and catching in my shoulder just won't go away. After 30+ years of swimming and never having an injury that required surgery, I'm a little reluctant go under the knife.
I wondering if any of you can give me some advice regarding labrum tear surgery, rehab, and recovery time.
I am having a second opinion..... but would like to have more..
Thanks everyone..

Dennis,
A teammate of mine, who doesn't participate in the discussion forum, recently had surgery for a torn labrum and is doing very well. She will soon be back in the water. Email me privately and I'll give you her email so you can talk to her directly. I don't think she'd mind talking to you about it, but would like to ask her first.
