I am an 80 YO male. There is nothing I essentially want to do that requires more function from my shoulder than I currently have. Could I try to generate a little more torque with my golf swing? Yes...BUT....that might cause me to have to call my neurosurgeon for my spinal and lumbar stenosis.

So...I am not wanting to rush into any more surgeries than absolutely necessary. I have had a zero pain left hip replacement and a zero pain right knee replacement and I think I am pushing my luck as it is.

I will tell you that shoulder surgery is the WORST. Much worse than my open heart surgery. Then 8 months to recovery.
