    Sorry to hear. Stay positive. Follow Dr's orders and do the rehab work.

    Yes, do what the doc says and don't rush things. In the mean time, come on over to the dark side with an evil devil-worshipping crossbow.

    I agree!! Went to orthopedic doc after the pain has been lasting about a month. Thought i might have pulled a muscle, etc. After the MRI, I saw the 2 tears in the rotator. It sucks!!

    Best to you..push comes to shove a right handed bow and an eye patch.
    Just listen to and do EVERYTHING the therapist tell you to do. Don't push your recovery.

    Went through a right shoulder rebuild in 2013. Follow your PT and don’t over do it , but push it. Had my in May and was bowhunting elk in Colorado on September 1st.
    Oh, take the pain meds when you get home and get ready to send a few night in a recliner.

    Man that sucks, Had 2 shoulder surgeries, Very painful for quite awhile, DO AS DOC SAYS , DO NOT PUSH ANY USAGE ! Take your time, Yes a good recliner is a must ! 6 months after surgery I still had a hard time fishing, Shoulder would get quite tired and sore, After about a year I started feeling almost normal, Yea an xbow may be in your future this year, TIP< If xbow, get a shooting stick also, Wishing you all the best
