i injured my shoulder joint 5 years ago, broke my collarbone, dislocated my shoulder. I have been stubborn, as I am a violist and I am scared that I will not be able to play anymore. I finally went to an orthopedist and he did an MRI, without dye, and x-rays, and came to the conclusion that I have tendinitis in my shoulder, and he gave me a prescription for naproxen, and sent me to physical therapy. I couldn't do the exercises without being in too much pain to even get up in the morning, so i was stuck with massage and tens unit therapy. I went to a new doctor, who said I have glenoid hypoplasia, which means my shoulder socket bone is too small and the treatment is major surgery to reconstruct the socket and tighten the joint. He sent me to a specialist, who said I don't have glenoid hypoplasia, I have hypermobile joints leading to multidirectional shoulder instability, so he gave me a cortisone injection and said 8 weeks of physical therapy. I don't know what doctor to believe. help!
