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 also had 2 shoulder scope(one on each side) My one shoulder I let get very painful esp. when I swam, I had a bone spur removed from my scapula,( only with other swim injuries). I am so happy I had it done I can swim and swim WITHOUT any pain.Th rehab takes longer than you think, but listen to your ortho MD(make sure it is done under a scope)PT take it easy. Goodluck Sandy
