MRI Results

Well, I had an MRI (arthrogram) done on Tuesday for my shoulder. I then went to my orthopaedic doctor on Friday for the results. The MRI revealed that I have a torn labrum in my shoulder (shoulder dislocation). Basically, the tissue has pulled away from the ligament. I'm not sure if I prepared myself for that. Anyhow, the doctor has recommended doing some exercises at home to strenghthen the muscles around the tendon and see what happens. The next step would be to do surgery. The surgery itself is 2 hours long and a recovery time of about 6 months, with at least one month in a sling. I'm not ready to do anything like that.

Please pray that the exercises I do at home would make things better!
