From knowing I had something seriously wrong – a week after our camp last year Late Oct 2007 – until surgery Fen 7th 2008 was a series of doctor visits and scheduling. I wish I would have had surgery just after Thanksgiving – then I would have had the rehab mainly in the Winter months. I am going to serve this weekend. I am playing my Softball again and am able to hit without thinking about it. I can now throw into second base or the cut-off infielder from my out field position with minimal pain. My team took second in the over 40s for the state in my second tourney back from injury….. I will be back….to our camp ready to go…. Very Long Road!!! Prolonged by the medical system…. After your surgery – DO your rehab right and religiously!! It makes the most difference MY SUGGESTION TO ALL - Say it hurts really bad (falling off your body) and demand that MRI ASAP to find the problem. MRI will spot a rotator cuff or Labrum tear quickly. Rehab will not help these items! Mike Mike - I will see you at Newk's !! , george George,

My shoulder hurt so much I couldn't even throw a snowball. They told me that the spurs would eventually "saw" through nearby tissue and that I would have to have surgery sooner or later. I had surgery in 1997 and am pleased with the result. I lost a little range of motion but it didn't affect my tennis - that I know of. Bill - i NEVER want to throw a snow ball again!  see you in Texas. George Bone spurs is what I had. My shoulder hurt so much I couldn’t even throw a snowball.
