Shoulder surgery? Have you had one yet?

I'm too lazy to look up the archive on this one. Sorry. I was wondering. How many of you people have had shoulder surgery? I mean. Most of us have swum (or is it swam) many miles. What do you contribute your pain too? I have not swum long distances for quite some time. Just wondering what I should watch out for as I begin to balance my stones.

  • on the contrary--I am 21 years old and have had 2 shoulder surgeries... Different person...different shoulders...different story. On the contrary to what? 21 year olds recuperate much more quickly than middle aged masters swimmers. But, if there is a significant injury or major tear, as you say, you have no choice but to have surgery. I would just be wary at my advanced age. Everyone is different. It's called cortisone. Acupuncture seems like a good option too.
