Have Torn Ligament On Shoulder. Is Surgery Thr Only Solution?
I have torn the ligament off my right shoulder . Tests have confermed this. I am 56 years old, in a lot of pain, and still trying to do my job. the only option the specialist gave me was an operation. I would like to know what other options I have, also, If left could I get my full movement back without an operation? Its been suggested to do phyo, would this fix the problem? Thank you, Carol

HI
Thank for choosing HCM
For torn ligament the only option is operation, (surgical repair) it gives much better result than any other alternative, if available, do not take any chance otherwise the condition would be worse and could become unrepairable,take care, Have good Day
