I had rotator cuff surgery when I was 60. Went to physical therapy twice a week for 4 months. I rode the commuter bike to PT the last 5 weeks.

Had rotator cuff surgery on the other shoulder when I was 64. PT lasted 3 months. I was back on the bike after about 6 weeks.

Glad you went to a sports med doc. Me too.

I know it's B-O-R-I-N-G but have you tried riding the trainer to help keep the legs and lungs in good working order for spring?
