The decision is killing me. Saw 3 surgeons. One being mine. The other 2 for opinions.

They all agree i have about %80 supraspinatus tear. They also all agree that isnt the real problem. Specifically i have type 3 acromiam which is not very condusive for weight lifters. I had that removed in my left anout 5 years ago.

So i can go in now to have the acromiam process end shaved off. The tendon will need some repair but not full blown reconstruction.

My other option is keep the inflammation down and continue lifting (which im doing with the aid of a cort shot several weeks ago) until it eventually becomes unbearable then go in.

I always hear avoid surgery at all cost. But with my type 3 its inevitable. The problem is i feel so good now but kniw it will fade. Whether its a week or 2 years it will happen.

And something i didnt know. If you are pain free. Even with a full tear they dont operate. I said well if i full tear then the tendon will be gone and the type 3 wont have anything to agggravate lol

Opinions please
 
I started on gh. Going to run bpc157 if i opt to wait. Cant inj anything in shoulder for a month before surgery. Gonna talk with my surgeon again friday and decide
 
Cort injektions work for a while but they also break down the tissue and that in turn can make surgery harder in the future.
Try the GH for a while and see if it get better otherwise surgery is the only option and a long rest after that.
I know it sucks but take it as an opportunity to catch up in other things in life :)

Just started gh with the plan of going into surgery in a few weeks. Ill probably stick to the plan because id rather recoup over winter months than summer

Yeah no doubt. Im going in in really good condition. Plus i gotta continue to train my wife.

Plan to kill legs and do one sided training(moderately) once pt starts. One sided training is pretty cool. Did it last time. You dont get big or anything but you feel like youre dojng something other than walking on a treadmill or bike for months on end.
