A shoulder problem i've had for about 7/8 years now has been getting worse and i'm wondering if anyone here has experience of it.
Long story short, after an MRI and arthrogram i was told by a specialist that the ligaments in my right shoulder ( and subsequently my left shoulder nowadays) are too long and the joint isn't stable and as a result would lead to arthiritis in later life. I was offered an operation on it but was due to start as a firefighter so didn't risk it, and the mobility level post-op would rule it out for me. This wasn't caused by any injury (although i'd suffered countless partial dislocations as a result of it) so i can only guess it's a pre-existing condition.
I've tried limiting stretching it and added rotator cuff exercises but with no luck. Does anyone know anything of this condition (seems quite rare) and possible remedies (apart from surgeries) as with its current progression every aspect of my life will be pretty tough in ten years time
