Electric muscle stimulators

I don't think he told me the width of the tear. He showed me the MRI photos and gave me the CD. The report says "M75.120 supraspinatus tendon tear right M75.4 bursitis subacromialis right". Fuck knows what that means. I'll ask next time I go back.

I'm surprised he didn't suggest a PRP shot.

I live in one of the smallest countries on the planet, maybe PRP hasn't made it here. I went for physio today, he read the reports and said it means it's 75% torn and proper lucky that it didn't fully rip. He gave me 50/50 chance that physio can teach my body to use other muscles and therefore skip surgery, as long as I give up lifting heavy with most shoulder exercises. If I want to lift heavy again, surgery is the only option. For me this is just a hobby, life goes on without heavy lifting. We'll see how it goes after the initial 2 weeks.

Damn, sorry to hear it's to that extent. My ortho would recommend immediate surgery at that point.
