More details to this question:
Surgeon expected full recovery+my return to work as a diesel mechanic. Prior to surgery I could lift 90 lb dumb bells+ now I can't even lift my arm and have been told I need a shoulder replacement. I have seen 3 other doctors. The doctor my insurance will pay for is in the same group as surgeon who operated on me and he does not want to do shoulder replacement yet, but wants to go back in and look around.i have all my therapy reports prior to surgery and post op. I have MRI before surgery and after and pictures from during the surgery. The original surgeon told me after surgery" you have the shoulder of an 80 yr old. I am 56. Now he said I have bone on bone and bad arthritis. I can not return to my job and I have difficulty now taking care of my daughter with cerebral palsy who is in a wheelchair. I was able to do all this prior to surgery.
