This post AIN'T about strangling monkeys...

By gosh, after years of fighting a painful shoulder I do believe the
arthroscopy on my right shoulder last Monday may have done the trick. Had
a post op sit down with my bone mechanic yesterday. He showed me some
color pictures he took inside my shoulder joint. Apparently he did some
serious cutting and grinding to smooth things out in there..whatever he
did it worked. Test casted a new 4 wt St Croix rod yesterday and no pain
whatever and the dang shoulder ain't even healed yet. The real test comes
this weekend when I get back on the water and cast my smallmouth rods
long enough to see how it goes. Docs advise was "if it don't hurt do it,
and if it hurts don't do it and keep up with those excersizes". Things
are looking up...

Trust me on this one dad. Do those exercises! The motion and
flexibility is needed so the scar tissue doesn't build in and lock you
back up. The strength gets those muscles back in shape so you can
move better. I doubled up on the exercises and recovered with full
range of motion in 30 vs 90 days.

Good advice Junior, I plan to do it all...having missed 2 straight years
fishing in Maine because of a bum shoulder I ain't about to screw this
up. Thanks for the advice...
