Consider going to the big city for the surgery and get followed by a local orthopod. That would give you a wider net to cast in terms of a specialist.
I'll probably have to switch my insurance to a PPO. I currently have an HMO and am stuck staying in network. If I had a PPO I could have a lot more options. Which reminds me, I need to do my exercises. bongsmilie

My current struggle is finding a pair of eyeglasses that i can tolerate. I just ordered 2 more pair, one of which are prescription readers. At least they gave me credit for the last pair.

I was thinking it sounds like a tear too...Those were the symptoms when I tore my rotator cuff in my other shoulder, from a fall. Hopefully it heals on it's own!!
A rotator cuff tear is different from a slap injury. You can sometimes get away with not repairing a rotator cuff but slap injuries can't heal on their own. I really wish they could.

I am skittish of a shoulder replacement because my rotator cuff repair was so tough. Not to mention a bunch of doctors have told me replacement sucks.
I'll add my voice to shoulder replacement sucks. But if you need a slap repair you might as well do the total shoulder. It's the same recovery and you'll be done. But get the best of the best in NYC proper to do it. Anyone could follow you after.

You are so active and young for your age it would be beneficial to you. But it will be unpleasant. However in a year it will be so much better, assuming you get the right surgeon.

I switched to a PPO as well to keep my pcp.
