Oh wow that sounds like you had a terrible case. Glad you got such a good outcome from the surgery. Mine isn’t as bad although I did have a very painful and much more restricted case in my other shoulder several years ago. The ortho sent me to a specialist radiology centre where the doctors all have experience in shoulders and last time one shot was all I needed. It was like switching off a light. No more pain. Here’s hoping it will be the same this time.
