Agree, i’ve Had pain in my shoulders, mostly left. Never even thought of having the surgery I know of from many who have had it.
My closest friend goes for regular procedures on his neck and Knee yielding zero relief.
I understand and feel bad that their pain is much worse but never understood the doctors selling them on these services and operations.
I lightly work through the injuries and notice the reduction of pain without meds, shots or surgery. A method of changing the way I work out and exercise is best for me but also understand it may not work same for all depending on age and level of injury.
