Anyone ever had surgery to repair a torn labrum?
I have a 2" tear across and fairly deep. Golf ball sized cyst underneath all of it from fluid leaking. Pain has gotten borderline unbearable and just got a cortisone shot (which really hasn't helped that much). Dr thinks I need surgery, but said it isn't urgent. Did say I'd be in a sling for up to 8 weeks. It would only be arthroscopic surgery. However, all people that I know that have had shoulder surgery (which is quite a few), said avoid any type of shoulder surgery at all costs.
Thanks, for any feedback.
