I doubt I'm a candidate for surgery, this is a minor tear; has anyone gotten back to 90-100% doing the recommended rehab exercises? Once you've gotten past the pain and mobility problems, how's the shoulder perform? Did you get the range of motion back?

Is the diagnosis from a physician reading an MRI? If so, the physician would have told you if you're a candidate for sugary. Right?

Edit: "sugary" - where did that come from??
