Hay Brett,

You may want to get a second opinion and you need an MRI. I know you live in Northern IN. I started with Doctors in Muncie, IN. One wanted to schedual me for an operation. I ask him if this was the less invaseing type scopeing surgery and he said no but his partner could do it. I decided right then and there that it wouldn't cost anymore to get the best shoulder sports specialist in IN. which I found in Indianapolis. He was shocked to hear that the Muncie doctor was going to operate when I hadn't had any pre-rehab. About three years ago my brother inlaw had shoulder surgery in Indianapolis and he found the best in the state at that time. He hurt his playing basket ball. I had another friend that had shoulder surgery ( back in the 70's) that was worse after the operation then before. They have come a long ways since then but still I would get the best. I wish you good luck.
