I tore the glenoid labrum off the scapula, same area but deeper. The tear also caused chafing of the bicep tendon where it passes over the edge of the scapula. Had surgery 13 months ago today. While rehab wasn't exactly a cake walk it was way better than the 6 weeks of immobilization.

Basically a full recovery but a slight decrease in my range. I can't reach quite as high or bring my hand up while behind my back. Which reminds me, I have to make an appointment to visit my surgeon as the Gov't has denied my structured settlement claim. I'll appeal their decision, but have to have the Doc take another look at my range of motion.
