Need rotator cuff surgery...
Surgeon called back with MRI results. Looks like I need some rotator cuff surgery.... Some cartilage tearing perhaps, and some impingement going on. The good news is that it will be arthroscopic, so the recovery shouldn't be too bad. Hopefully this will take care of the pain in my shoulder.
I haven't scheduled anything yet. Want to wait until after my company fishing derby at the end of May... 
I'm getting tired of surgeries. The frequency is getting closer and closer.... 
1st surgery - elbow - age 16
2nd surgery - appendix - age 28
3rd surgery - elbow - age 33
4th surgery - shoulder - age 35
Age spans between surgeries:
16
12
5
2
Not a good trend.....

Sorry to hear that.
Make sure post-surgery you get into a top-notch PT program and follow the doctor's orders. Rotator cuffs are very easy to re-tear while they are healing. This happened to my dad.

I have a really good PT that I've been using for my elbow surgery 2 years ago. They're expecting me back...  My PT noticed problems initially with my shoulder when he was working on my elbow, and he's the one that told me to go back to the Orthopedist to get the shoulder looked at.

Re: Need rotator cuff surgery...
My brother is having rotator cuff surgery very soon too...he's been in a lot of pain and he has a physical job which makes it worse.
Hope everything works out for you!
