My torn labrum is what's keeping me from having the surgery. I just can't take the time out of school/work to recover from it. I was told that it would be 6-8 MONTHS before returning to everyday status, as I would have to retrain many muscle groups, and my arm would be in a sling for months right out of the gate. I'm unsure how common this is, but I've had 3 opinions all tell me the same thing. I have very limited range of motion, and I deal with it, but leaving it alone has caused a multitude of back problems. Basically, all the muscle groups are compensating for one another at this point, and are constantly overworked.
