You have been through a lot! Wow. I've had five surgeries including a shoulder. It takes time. It took me years to get back to feeling 100% normal. All situations unique of coarse. He's young, determined and takes care of himself. That'll be an advantage. My gut tells me it's a less severe variety. Hopeful of it anyway.Best wishes to Adrian on a speedy recovery. Dude was a baller and gave everything he had to the program. Thanks Adrian.
Hopefully it's not anything beyond the labrum tear he suffered in high school like a rotator cuff tear. It's probably not but shoulders are so complex with different people having different symptoms for the same injury you never know.
I had my right supraspinatus repaired last fall. Knew it was blown right off.
Then this summer blew out my left labrum, subscapularis, and supraspinatus. The doctor said the supraspinatus was torn for months before I endo'd my mtb. Never knew it until then.
Recovery is about six months to feeling good but a year to full tendon strength. If it's a rotator, I'd say he's for sure done.
Adrian's given everything he's had indeed! He'll always have respect from here. His pass with the crappy call...You know what, he wasn't perfect but he had our backs and was giving his all. Nobody wanted to win more than him. Lots to be thankful for.
