Doc has to get approval for a cortisone shot. Hoping they can get this done by Friday as I leave Saturday.
The timing sucks.

I feel for you. I tore the rotator cuff in both my left and right shoulder. You should get a MRI to confirm the tear. If you need a good orthopedic surgeon to repair it, I have one in Santa Monica. After removing the bandages, you couldn't tell that I had surgery.
If you're planning on getting surgery and it's in your dominant shoulder, start using your other hand to do basic stuff that you take for granted such as wiping your ass and bathing. I didn't read the paper from the doctor before my surgery and it told me to practice doing things with my less dominant hand. I quickly found out why.
