That's what I have! Sucks to feel your shoulder pop out of the socket while actually attempting a shot.
My dad separated his shoulder back in high school football and it still occasionally gives him trouble. Not that it will be the same case for Tyler. I'm guessing medical treatment for a pro basketball player is slightly different than a high school football player in the early 1960s.
I'm still trying to decide on my own course of treatment. Thinking about having magic dust sprinkled in there to regenerate the labrum as opposed to actual surgery. That magic dust is stem cells by the way.
Have you done any rehab?
Unfortunately, going under the knife might be the only way to "correct" the problem and get as close back to normal as possible. I separated my shoulder playing hoops back in 1997. Not that it is a chronic problem, but its never been "right" ever since, and feels "looser" than my other shoulder.
I waited, did rehab, didn't work so I had surgery. was fine for awhile but now the arthritis is quite bad. Surgeon says it's because the joint had so much movement with all the years of torn labrum. My advice as a patient is to get it done ASAP.CuseFaninVT said:I've done 2 or 3 rounds of PT now. Makes the area around it stronger, but never corrects the issue, and whatever I did last really messed me up to the point I can't even do one decent pushup anymore. Which is wreaking havoc on my former chest muscles. Totally given up on lifting weights now. I had a buddy who was a kayaker and hockey player who had the procedure with the stem cells and he was back to lifting light weights within 2 weeks and is healed now. And his down time was way less than if he had normal surgery.
