I know there have been lots of threads about shoulders, but not this problem specifically. I have a large bone spur in my shoulder, but there is no rotator cuff tear. The doctor recommends removal and says the surgery is about 30 minutes long and I could be back in the water in 3 weeks, since it "just" a matter of shaving off the spur arthroscopically.
Have any of you had this procedure done and what was the recuperation like? I am a 50 year old woman if that matters in the recup time.

I have had bone spurs removed from both shoulders. Rt shoulder first and then the left within 3 weeks. I also had some other repairs done to the shoulders while they were there but nothing major. Surgery was my only option if I wanted to swim again. Turned out OK and recovery was very easy. Good Luck.
