Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well Good Morning Everyone. Had my day of appointments yesterday. Partial tear per MRI. Strength in all movements but pain. So, the plan is prescription anti-inflammatory for 4 days and PT for 7-10 days. If no relief, then we will talk then. Doc wants to avoid cutting me if possible. Meds will take me through most of the weekend and PT starts tomorrow. Idea is to see if inflammation can be reduced to lessen the pain. I am supposed to call on Monday with a report as to how I am feeling. A good friend had the same plan, his first PT they laughed and said you need surgery. His was operated on last week. Time will tell. Also, supposed to get 3-8" of snow today then deep freeze starting tomorrow.
Eric, 25 years ago I had a partial tear with my first shoulder separation (have had three total). No surgery, I did PT for three months, and got to where it felt pretty good. It took a year before I felt 100%. I'm very active, but careful with overhead lifting, it pops and clicks. I'm sure you'll finally find your answers and get some relief.
