how was recovery and getting back to strength?

Took a while. They told me I would be playing golf in 6 weeks...lmao. Yeah, try 12 months. I stayed out of the gym and let everything get right for a change.

I had tendonitis in both biceps tendons, an impingement on my rotator cuff, and a sloppy joint. Once he trimmed up the inflamation on the tendons, he ground down the rotator cuff and the calcium deposit/impingement. Then he lazed the interior wall of of my shoulder joint to create additional scar tissue. As the scar tissue formed, it tightened up my shoulder joint. I think the scar tissue thing is what took mine the longest to heal.

yeah, I lost a little mobility after the surgery, but that was due to the scar tissue thingee
I don't have any trouble with it now.
