asked

I had shoulder surgery in June for impingement, bursa removal, and shaving of the labrum and rotator cuff. The pain has returned in a different location, and I'm concerned about possibly tearing the rotator cuff again. I've had shots, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy, but I don't want to go through another year of treatment without improvement. Should I consider surgery again, and is it reasonable to prefer surgery if it's the only way to address the issue effectively?
