A big decision on surgery

I had a lot of trouble with my shoulder. Through different tests and exams the orthopedist had found rotator cuff tears. Exercises and therapy were recommended. After a few months of that I still had trouble. I was given a shot. That helped for awhile, but the pain came back. A final choice I could make was surgery. For different reasons that kept being delayed. Dr. Lawson strongly advised not to do the surgery at my age. So I decided not to pursue that any further. With caution on how I use my arm I have been able to live with it and I am glad I listened to him.

I also enjoy the fact that I can reach him whenever I need to, usually within the hour. I am fortunate to be in fairly good health so I don’t see him that often. Several times a year I visit his office for sure for the Wellness tests and blood test results.
