Hey all,
I finally have a diagnosis. My recent MRI throws up both good and bad. The good is I’m not in permanent trouble - in fact my shoulders show no sign of long-term issues and I’m far too healthy for my age, apparently - the bad is I need surgery which will stop me playing for a while. In short, I have muscle wear in both shoulders which has caused my body to grow more bone to compensate; this bone growth has to be removed by keyhole surgery - quite literally my bone has grown to fill the gaps left by my damaged muscle. This surgery has to be done one shoulder then the other.
Each shoulder requires around 3 months to recover meaning I won’t be likely to be playing until early 2019. My first operation is on 2nd July. I may get a loop in before then but I don’t know.
Just to say thank you to you all for your support and understanding during my recent issues. I’ll be back, I now know probably when.
