My shoulder surgery

We all have an expiration date

Ten days ago, I underwent shoulder surgery for some chronic pain and inflammation I've had for about a year.

The pain was mild to moderate—not debilitating or dramatic, but definitely there. That said, it was limiting my ability to work out and continue to do resistance training, specifically any activities involving chest and shoulder work were becoming more and more painful. In addition, I was having more pain at night, especially turning to lay on my left side.

After trying several holistic treatments, including chiropractic therapy, massage therapy, and various stretches the pain was only getting worse. I finally went to see an orthopedic surgeon.
