I had same experience with shoulder surgery. No lies nor pressure to have surgery - was my choice since I figured "it couldn't make things worse". I was wrong.

I had same experience with shoulder surgery. No lies nor pressure to have surgery - was my choice since I figured "it couldn't make things worse". I was wrong. I think that everyone considering orthopedic surgery should seriously evaluate the data on success rates. My plan is to wait another five or ten years and hope that the state-of-the-art is improved and then hopefully have my shoulder fixed.
