I damaged my right shoulder in a motorcycle wreck 20 years ago, then the rotator cuff in the gym 2 years ago. The doctor took and xray, said "it's a mess in there; take it easy on it". Then last October I completely tore (2" separation) the supra-spinatus (I heard it tear as well as felt it). Someone at the same doctor's office said "if you can lift your arm at all it isn't torn. just take it easy on it." That's bull. Mine was bad. 2 months after surgery it's already a lot better than anytime in the past 2 years. No strength yet but it's coming back.
Go to a surgeon who knows what he's doing. Your GP doesn't know jack. Get the surgery and get it fixed. The surgery isn't that bad. The physical therapy isn't that bad IF you got the right attitude, meaning you want your arm back. The other choice is just remain crippled for life. They can do wonders on a shoulder.
No shooting yet and he said mine was bad and it'd be a year before I'm back to normal. I've a hunch my 378 weatherby will have to go but I can't imagine any problems with lesser stuff.
