I had my appointment with the surgeon yesterday afternoon and after reviewing my MRI and X-rays he don't think we will have to do surgery!!! he thinks with some aggresive physical therapy and some "juice" injected into the area of the tear and another where the arthritis is he thinks it will be good to go, he said the tear is small enough that it should heal on its on and if we can get the inflamation under control around the arthritis then he shouldn't have to cut me. I am really glad that I dont have to run around all summer with my arm in a sling!!!!
