Even ask other Dr's if this was your shoulder who would you let do the work OR call local PT places explain to them the issue and ask who would they go to!!! Do not just go to who your Dr says without research!!! My knee Dr waiting room will have NFL, NBA all kind of sports players in the waiting room that some have even flown in to see him!! |

I don't swim very well so that would be out. I do know how to stretch! lol Surely my GP has some stretching exercises he could share with me.
I can just hear the Orthopedic surgeon say "Let's schedule surgery now!" After all, this is their job. I am definitely going to listen to what he says, but I'm not scheduling on that day. |
My Dr is great, he would try everything in the world before surgery in fact I actually need full knee replacement but he is helping find ways to hold out for now.
