Okay I apologize for allowing so much time elapse between my updates but I am resigned to the fact that surgery is definitely needed I have tried everything else and even paid out of pocket for a "PRP" injection I got 2 months ago and the pain is not going away in fact it's been getting worse. I'm either going in late this month or early February to get this taken care of once and for all.

Wow, well it's been quite the journey for you.

Good luck, I have faith it will work out for you. Hang in there and keep us posted on your recovery.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

So it's gonna happen the surgery that is on the 28th of February. I guess I should  be excited but I'll defer that to when I can lace up the spikes again.

I had to get my left labrum reconstructed after my second major dislocation a few years back. Recovery for me was 5 months until I could swing. I played at 6 months though infrequently. Maybe 8-9 months didn't feel dicey. Then I had winter and the next season... Wow. I hadn't known how much worse my mechanics were than they could be because I was subconsciously tightening my front should to protect it. Even before the second dislocation it was loose and sloppy. Who knew tightening up and good golf mechanics didn't go great together 😀

I don't know what surgery you're getting, but maybe a potential bright spot for you?

Well finished my pre op appointment today and sometime Friday morning I'll finally be starting to really get this whole episode behind me. I left the info in the car but apparently I have a tear on my bicep tendon that will have to be reattached which explains why I get pain traveling down my arm.

Well it's been a few days and I can tell this going to take a few months at least before life starts returning to normal. The two procedures were shoulder arthroscopy/surgery and arthroscopic biceps tenodesis. I have the post op appointment on the 6th and I'll make any updates if necessary.

I guess my bicep tenodesis was so bad they had cut it loose and re-attached it to the labrum. I'm just curious if anyone around here had that same procedure and did it shorten or lengthen your turn.

How would a bicep issue affect your turn?

I see what you mean and no my hips and torso have nothing to do with my bicep.

Two weeks since surgery, I have been able to increase range of motion but I have to be careful pain is still there and if I overdo it even a little I'm sore most of the day. PT is scheduled for Monday the 17th.

If all they did was the biceps tenodesis, I suspect you’ll be playing within a couple of months as long as you’re diligent with your rehab and do what you’re supposed to be doing. If they did a labral repair/any rotator cuff repair, that will slow things down quite a bit, but take heart that you will be out there soon enough!
