[QUOTE="Oldtime Shooter13, post: 2622125, member: 109503"] I have never bow hunted, but have had both shoulders operated on for rotator cuff tears. Right shoulder was a complete mess, worse shoulder that the orthopedic surgeon had ever seen. He removed about 1/2 spur from the shoulder and two spurs from my clavicle (I think that is correct) where the tendons connect to the shoulder. The right shoulder was done surgically in 2003 and has pretty much been rock solid after a lot of rehab. The left shoulder I had done in 2010 arthroscopic surgery and that I still have some issues with. To worsen the left side I tore a bicep tendon from the shoulder in 2018. Went to the doctor and he referred me to orthopedic surgeon. When I got to the orthopedic surgeon he could not do anything about the tendon? He told me that I had waited too long. Apparently, the surgery (Tommy John surgery) has to be done within 2 to 3 weeks of the injury. The referral was out a couple of months? I lost about 30% strength in my left arm and still have issues now with spasms and cramping (Charlie Horse). Morale of my story is I am now 63 years young. Wish I would have filed a malpractice suit against my doctor at the time. I will never again take the word or diagnosis from a doctor for granted and do my own research. I use to be a bull and now I have to realize my limitations and let others be the bull! [/QUOTE]
