Shoot, I have a long way to go. No matter what I don't think I can have surgery until April.

The one thing I found out riding Saturday was apparently I put too much weight on my arms. So I adjusted my positioning. And it allowed a couple more laps at our local hare scramble practice course.

Silver lining is maybe this will be a good thing if it fixes some issues with my riding. Lol

This particular shoulder has been dislocated a couple of times so it's not all that surprising I'm having issues.

I'm not a fan of cortisone shots and neither is my Dr. While they deaden the pain they also degrade the soft tissue. Making the issues worse sometimes. He only gives 1 to see if you can do PT to strengthen it.

This guy is a great sports medicine Dr. He understands wanting to keep high activity levels and doesn't want to be too invasive.

He told me with my knee that I needed a replacement but made me wait 10 years because I was too young and didn't want to limit future activity.
