[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1909243, member: 63925"] CB: I pushed mine off too long and paid the price of tearing it up more. Don't let these accounts deter you from getting it done. My shoulder has NEVER felt this good since I had surgery. The total relief and ability to do small menial tasks that was impossible before go by virtually unnoticed. I killed a really nice buck 2 weeks before my surgery and I have no clue how I got the bow back and almost did not make it. The pain was excruciating but somehow it got back. Luckily short shot of maybe 15 yards. My son had to come and help me recover the deer out of a ditch since my shoulder hurt so bad I couldn't even lift bow case back into truck from ground. I am now shooting a bow completely pain free now is something I hadn't done in maybe 10+ years and is a joy to shoot now. The PT is where you "make or break" going forward and takes real commitment to finish it off the right way. I looked at it that I went through the surgery so I might as well make it as close to 100% as I can on my end. Shoulder surgery can make huge quality of life difference for you and highly recommend you consider going through it ASAP. Take the time to really talk to your surgeon on what your after surgery expectations are after full recovery and don't mince words.
