I had a torn rotator cuff (right shoulder) thanks to a run-in with an a-hole motorist. I was 60 at the time -- 63 now. Had the surgery and now the right arm/shoulder is better than the left.
Have the surgery and then get out and
ride more and longer.
Recumbent?? They're for old people! I won't be old for at least another decade or so.
