Yeah I can't even tell you how pissed I am.
According to this surgeon, my insurance requires I try PT first before they can schedule anything. And actually, the first shoulder surgeon who did the MRI also prescribed me PT, but I didn't go because of Covid, but I did do stretching exercises at home.
This new guys diagnosis for PT is glenohumeral osteoarthritis and adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder. He said it was stiff...Maybe because I had 2 long sleeve thick shirts on while he was examining me...I asked, want me to take my shirt off..."No". I think my ROM is fine, considering.
But I just called my PT guy...he is very good, and has MPS, PT, CSCS, OCS designations. He did my left shoulder after rotator cuff repair, and my back a few times. I made an appt. for Monday, and I'll give it a try. He may tell the doctor "this ain't happening". And if it hurts too bad, I'll stop.
Not that I don't want to exercise, I don't want needless pain and I believe that's all I am going to get out of this...But talking with my nurse BIL last night, he said the same thing...Insurance always require at least 2 weeks PT before surgery...and I have had to do it for both hips and my left shoulder before surgery.
I have been babying this shoulder because of the pain and I know I have lost muscle.

Already have one...and I have been wearing either a lidocaine or Salonpas patch most of the time. Right now pain is radiating down to my wrist from yesterdays shenanigans.

Same with me and my hip....they did a few sessions of PT and then ordered an MRI, and then stopped PT and replaced it.Sounds like when I broke my back. I was in so much pain from pt they stopped me and then ordered a MRI
I am hoping the PT guy will know some better shoulder surgeons to recommend.
I don't think the weather change is, but the cold definitely does a number on me. Which reminds me, I need to order more propane!!

Lots of shoulder guys but not many who do replacements...Shoulder replacements are not like hips and knees, they are more complex and a lot less doctors do them.
I did find my MRI over view from the 1st doctor
SOS MRI & Other Imaging Results:
MRI Results: Right: shoulder
I reviewed the MRI report of the Radiologist. There was evidence for rotator cuff tendinosis to the infra and supraspinatus portions of the rotator cuff but no definite tear. He has AC joint arthritis with a type II acromion consistent with impingement. The biggest finding was glenohumeral arthritis with areas of bare bone to the humeral head.
I agree there are benefits to prehab, usually the better physically fit you are before surgery the better the outcome but find out. Hopefully your PT guy is kind and supportive.
Total shoulders began in the 1950s.

If there's a better use for a 3d printer, I haven't seen it.

I don't know why I thought that. I'll be quiet now!

No you are right...There are a lot less doctors that do them in any quantity. I have been searching for 2 years now....Asking every doctor or professional I come in contact with for recommendations. Most of them say the same thing....Put it off as long as you can! The outcomes of total shoulder replacements are also not nearly as good as hips or knees. Like my days of swinging a hammer, etc. may be over if I don't find a great dr. They are over now though, so.....I don't know why I thought that. I'll be quiet now!
The one thing the replacements are pretty good at is relieving the pain, I hear.
I know it took 2 years to totally heal from my left shoulder rotator cuff repair, but he also did a bunch of other work, like reshaping the bone...and now that is hurting again too. I'll rehab them both when I do PT. Ugh.
And yes, my PT guy is great...as is his assistant. I will at least get some great massages!! Albeit not long enough in duration.

I had a horse as a teenager. As a kid I was always into westerns, and always wanted a horse...Then when we moved to the country I got my chance, and I bought one at age 14. I never realized when I bought it, what a chic magnet a horse is. All the neighborhood girls wanted to ride....all 2 of them, lol.
At age 16 I sold the horse to my mom for a years insurance payment on my car, and never rode the old mare again. Horses are a lot of work!!
