I get the feeling many who have contributed to this thread are in denial.
Many shoulder problems can be fixed with surgery.
Many more can be fixed with rest.
If there is no arthritis, far fewer cannot be fixed with either surgery or rest.
Not me. I was told my problem was non-surgical at the moment.
But surgery sounds awful. Intense pain, long rehab, possible re-tears, possible reduced ROM. I have to think the older you are, the harder the recovery and the less chance of returning to your prior competitive speed. This recent WSJ article didn't make it sound any fun.
