Hi Paul

Once again thanks. I now have a complete file of research papers on this subject and still worried!
The problem is I have just come back from 2 weeks triathlon training in the sun over Christmas and New Year and feel absolutely fantastic. I have 100% ROM in my shoulder, no pain just the occassional twinge. the problem is that I have now explained this to 3 independent surgeons and they all say that the pain will come back ( steroid injection 2 months ago) and its better to have the surgery whilst I'm fit and well.

When you ran on the treadmill in your sling did your shoulder not feel it? Even jogging I can't see how there would'nt be some impact on the shoulder?

I know I have to have the sling on for 23 x 7 for 6 weeks, do they then just take it off completely? Must feel strange?

many thanks for all response
