Years of abuse starting with a get off 1 mile from the finish line of B to V 89. Then I decided to break it while mountain bike riding a few years ago, so last year I finally got it fixed....Oh yeah while you're in there, can you shave the lump down so my wife can rest her head on my shoulder without being stabbed?

Before: That string thing is not suppose to be floating around.

CDA, What was your recovery time with the shoulder?

3 months with physical therapy twice a week. Therapy is the key to get it loose and strong. My doctor had me hanging my arm down a couple hours after surgery and allowing it to rotate around to stay loose. 20 years of a messed up shoulder, I never knew it was suppose to feel that good when done.
