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 am Mason from iran.
Iinjured whe i was lifting a tire.
after visit my doctor he told me it's buritist ant tondonitis,after 3 months ,I came back to water and after 6 meter butterfly i felt a sore in my chest.
afterward i went to the orthopedist along with my MRI,the record was"There is linear high signal intensity in the labrum compatible with partial tear.Smal amount of flouid in the shoulder joint space is seen".
this is the radiologist record.
my doctor told me you should go to PT for 2 weeks.
But i have pain in my chest not my shoulder...
