I was scheduled to have surgery on Jan. 6th. It was confirmed by x-ray and MRI. However it stopped hurting so I cancelled it. It had hurt for the previous four years. Last winter I was icing it everyday after work. Stopped the icing and stretching and it went away. The recovery was supposed to take six weeks. But, the people at work tell me it's more like 3 months.

I will be 72 on the 12th and have had both shoulders fixed. Torn rotator cuff and bone spurs in both. My orthopedic surgeon (Dr Knife) gave me the Cortisone shots for years and finally said I needed to get fixed. He did the repairs on each (several years apart), cleaned up the spurs and sent me to rehab. He said I should be good for 8 10 years if I took care of them and didn't abuse them. The 6 weeks of recovery is wishful thinking. You need much more time to rehab and time to heal and slowly work back to full motion and hopefully near full strength.
The motion that really hurt my shoulders is raising my arm up and reaching out. I was using a long pole saw last week to to do some tree trimming and now have shoulder pain. I sure hope I haven't screwed it up again. I am still catching hogs so it must not be too bad.
If you are having pain in your shoulder with motion, talk to an orthopedic guy and maybe the shots will work as a short term fix for you.
