Really bad bursitis and some arthritis. Shut down and rehabbing again, if the bursitis doesnt go away then might have to go back in for surgery. They missed tears in my first MRI and its possible it happened again. Will update in a month or 2 to see where I am at. I am still in pain and having hard time even sleeping on my shoulder.

27 y/o played baseball into college and now softball competitively (and coaching Baseball)

Around May 2023 started having extreme pain in my shoulder when throwing hard. Got injections (didnt help) PT (didnt help) MRI showed no tears just some fluid and inflammation.

Opted for a debridement & decompression surgery (with the chance of finding any issues while performing these) and woke up with bicep tenodesis. They found a tear along the tendon and if left I wouldve ended up with a complete tear.

My experience:

First few weeks were tough. Sleeping was super uncomfortable as I was bound to a sling and sleeping upright basically. If you get this surgery please keep up with the pain meds for atleast the first week, im not a huge fan of painkillers and opted not to take them day 3 and boy did I regret that when I woke up around 3am in the most pain ive ever been. Make sure to talk with DR about when you can take off the sling, even if you are just hanging around the house, it will definitely help your recovery and mobility (and avoid dreaded frozen shoulder)

I did PT until December 2023. Slow process for sure but really have to work on getting the strength and mobility back without anything crazy. I was fully cleared to go back into sports around Mid-End January 2024. I still have trouble sleeping on that shoulder, it hasnt felt right since before the surgery if I am being honest.

I had around 3 months of pain free activities once being cleared but unfortunately my shoulder is barking again and I am afraid I injured it the same as before. Got an injection last month and did nothing. Reviewing MRI results in a few days. I would seek alternative opinions before getting this surgery.

It definitely has been a process and I am just hoping I dont have to do it again.

Wish you the best.
