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..

I was wondering about swimming damaging other parts of the body. I had a severe stomach pain and had to rest a little in bed. I cut the yardage down recently and now an swimming slowly. The sprints made me very sore. So, how can you tell if you need to see a doctor for your shoulder or knees or stomach or groin for injuries.
