Question

I've been told I might need surgery but I'm not sure if it's the best option for me. Can you help me understand the pros and cons of going through with it versus trying other treatments first? I'm really worried about making the wrong choice.

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with shoulder pain for the past two weeks, and applying things like Moov or Relaxyl hasn't helped at all.

Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?
