Get another opinion from another doctor, I wouldn't take anyone on the internet's word for it based on 6 paragraphs.

If you have scan data from the old doctor share it, if not you can get another scan and see what they think. Doctor quality is highly variable, and some doctors spend all day dealing with people who are literally dying and don't give a shit about the quality of a healthy person's exercise etc.

(If you got a scan before but didn't get a copy, get in the habit of requesting copies of whatever data is generated, they sometimes cut you a cd or you can bring your own thumb drive whatever)

Trust your body. If it's telling you it's not right, it's a hell of a lot closer to the problem than the doctor is. I've been mega fucked over by taking a doctor's word for it over my own intuition in the past. They're just people, typically overworked people, and as long as their patients aren't literally suing them, it's all the same to them.

And make doctors explain it to you. Make them teach you why they made the diagnosis they did. Make them explain it to you until you understand the situation and agree with it. If they can't or won't explain their diagnosis, then it's not a real diagnosis yet.

Thanks for reminding me how still salty I am - good luck with your shoulder.

More information is really going to be your friend here. Don't be afraid to go and get it. Even if it all checks out as to why he is saying its OK, still you will know more and you have to know your body, particularly if it has a weakness that you will have to work around. The problem at first is where to look for information and how much to invest. Who is a good source of info?

Clearly reading around is important but reading is very general. Doctors should really know what is going on with the surgery they have done and a second opinion from a surgeon sounds good but I would also seek someone who is used to rehabilitating athletes. You want someone who has worked with a lot of good professional athletes -these are people who care about their bodies and who are valuable resources to teams. They don't go to quacks too often, at least not in numbers.

It could be just fine. The clicking could just be tendons catching and pinging -that is what it usually is- but if that is so, it is still a symptom of muscle imbalances. The shoulder is so very balanced as different muscles come into and out of tension in the rotator cuff as you move. If some are too tight and some inhibited, you will get this sort of thing and the surgeon will say "yeah all fine" -because from his point of view it is mechanically OK, he fixed it mechanically- but its like a machine that mechanically is sound but is not tuned right. Its not going to run too well, may get mechanical probs again. Needs looking at by a mechanic as well as the engineer.

I would seek out someone who knows about how nerves and muscles work together in the recuperating athlete. The shoulder will not be quite what it was before it was cut and your CNS will have to reprogram a little, proprioception will be very slightly different. The right guy will understand this and can test the agonist /antagonist relationships in your muscles, maybe release a few tight things and tell you to strengthen some things. Could be a physio, could be the right chiropractor or osteopath, someone who understands dynamic movement, someone who understands your training and what it is doing to your body. Ideally someone who will work with the surgeon as someone in the same team not piss him off, who will take the scans and xrays, interpret them well and may be able to report the odd thing back to him.

Get an opinion from a rehabilitation specialist or someone of that nature, they usually know more about that than a doctor can tell without MRI.

Not sure about the doctor but in the gym I have to warm up my shoulders with face pulls or I cant even press without sharp pain
