First time participant to this forum. My husband aged 69 has according to an Wikipedia reference-linkMRI a 3 mm. tendon tear! Orthopedic Surgeon says, no way, there is more to it than that but... given his age just physio treatments to try and prevent scar tissue. well, the injury is already two months old and the wait here in Canada is to blame for that. Saw physio yesterday who says she can't work with the shoulder just yet it is too inflamed! So cold/heat and TENS with a couple of exercises that my spouse finds very painful. He has had one cortisone treatment. How likely is he to end up with a Wikipedia reference-linkfrozen shoulder? He is now depressed as he loves his golf .
