Finally got to see the specialist on Friday, who confirmed a significant tear, and pretty advanced arthritis in the shoulder.
He shot me with steroids and put me on a 60 day home therapy program. After that, he'll try one more session of injections and therapy for another 4 weeks. The decision will be made then on the question of surgery.
He says I'm right on the line now.
I guess I'll keep on "keepin on". The injections haven't given me any relief so far.
