I had surgery on my right shoulder 2 years ago. I didn't have the same surgery you need, but my doctor told me my condition was worse than rotator cuff. I had instability in my shoulder. It kept dislocating all the time, I'd do anything and "pop" out it came, oh and the pain. I got tired of going to the hospital to have them push it back it. I just finally made myself pop it in, over and over... Anyway, I put off the surgery for about a year, and then in August I was wakeboarding, wreaked and it popped out bad, I went into shock in the water, and nearly drown. So I figured it was time. But, I couldn't do it until the hunting seasons were over. I waited until the duck hunt ended in January, and the next day I was in there. I have to tell you it was the worst thing I have ever had to deal with. I thought it would be no big deal, but it was. I went with the cut me all the way open method instead of orthoscopic. My doctor told me the recovery time would be 8 to 9 weeks instead of 5 to 6, but the odds of me dislocating were a lot lower. It really did take 2 months to recover to the point that I could use it again. I was unable to draw my bow until July. I did lose some mobility in my shoulder, and had to learn a new anchor point, my shoulder just won't rotate around as far anymore. Was it worth it? Oh ya, hasn't dislocated since, and just some minor pain every now and then. It actually feels a lot better now, then it did before. I say do it, but not until January. Good Luck!

By the way, my first season back I killed a 5-point bull.
