As someone who's going to the doctor next week to discuss potential shoulder surgery, this is timely.
I really need to figure out whether it's going to make things better or worse, but unfortunately, that feels like something a doctor can't guarantee one way or the other.
Any anecdotes or other experiences/thoughts are appreciated.
Since you asked for anecdotes, I fixed my shoulder pain doing PT at home based off a plan cobbled together from Gemini and YouTube. I think the key is determining if it’s shoulder impingement or rotator cuff tear (there are YT videos to help diagnose). For me it was shoulder impingement and I just did the same exercises multiple times a day for a month. Pull-up bar hangs and doorway stretches with my hand above and to the side ended up being the most effective. If you don’t want to roll your own, maybe talk to a physical therapist.
