I had full thickness tears in my supraspinatus and infraspinatus and torn labrum and bone loss in humeral head.

Doctor put serious pressure for me to have surgery. I simply asked the guy if he could go through the MRIS with me, point out the problems. His response "You won't understand it because you don't have the training."

Asked him if I could wait on the surgery or if it had to be done now. He said it was fine to wait. Did the therapy, saw him 7 months later guy couldn't make eye contact with me. I was at 95%

Lesson is to 1) do your research 2) don't be afraid to walk if something doesn't seem right
