However, I had 3 other tears in my shoulder; about a 1.25" full thickness tear in the rotator cuff, "slap" tear in the labrum, and my supraspinitis (sp) was completely detched. So yes, the doc just went ahead and fixed everything while he was in there. Also did copious amounts of grinding off bone spurs and cleanout of various "junk and debris".
Anyway, good luck with your MRI and prognosis. Hope it all turns out to be precautionary, and that you'll be alright without surgery.
My shoulders are a mess. I can't even throw overhand anymore.
