I've been dealing with L5-S1 issues and spinal stenosis, also trying to avoid fusion because of bad experiences I've heard of, but I'd also like to be able to walk distances without issues. As it is, my days of walking 10 miles in the mountains with a pack and rifle are over, but I'd like to get them back. I'm 65, about to retire for real, and want to spend as much time hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, golfing, etc., all things that I'm seriously limited on now. I can't go on an elk or deer hunt in the mountains, can't hike to a hidden lake to camp and fish. I have been exercising and stretching and it's better but a 2.5 mile walk at a slow pace is my limit.
I look forward to hearing about your progress.

P.T. Doesn't work for tears in muscle...it only makes it worse, and cortisone doesn't fix tears either.....every dam( deliberately spelt) G.P. Doctor sends torn rotator patients to P.T.....then shots then P.T. all that time making it 3 times worse....then after months when you see the surgeon...he asks what have you done for this...you tell them and they roll their eyes like we are the stupid ones!

I had a torn rotator cuff, labrum, and bicep and had the surgery in 2016 at 42 years old. The best thing I found was a pulley system that went above the door jamb that had two handles and I could use the good arm to help pull the bad arm up in front of me and to the side. Was off work for 8 weeks went back early but it was still tender. Good luck sir you'll do fine. Oh one other thing mine was my right arm and I am right handed so learning to wipe your butt left handed was a real challenge.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement???
So now one hand faces forward all the time..
... interesting
You certain you didn't leave anything out Dr.Feenix ?
. It's totally FUBAR would have sufficed......just saying
