I went in for the surgery yesterday. After they had already put me out, they determined that they could not proceed with the surgery as planned. Evidently, in addition to having the
Bankart lesion, I also have a
frozen shoulder. This is an incredible Catch-22 because they can't operate on the lesion (torn ligament) due to the frozen shoulder and it is hard to rehab the frozen shoulder due to the risk of dislocation due to the lesion.
Nevertheless, they took the opportunity while I was out to push and pull and yank my arm as much as possible. This supposedly helped the frozen shoulder, but it did nothing to help the main problem.
So, I have been beat due to the drugs and a bit sore, too, but I am feeling better now. Since there was no incision and no surgery, the recovery is quick.
