Time to re-ask a question I asked several months ago, as today I got a second opinion from a recognized expert in the field. The question is should I have partial joint replacement/ rotator cuff repair of my left shoulder?
Last time, Radu advised against due to a complicated recovery.
This time I want to add that I am afraid of post-op pain because I have sleep apnea and cannot take standard painkillers or I may stop breathing. The doctor is concerned about post-op infection as I am diabetic.
I am going to only point out the presence of Caput ALgol on the asc., and leave the rest to the experts. But it doesn't look great with that malific on top of "me".
