Replacement will be the only step for me. I separated my right one in HS football, but wanted to Pitch my Senior year. So? I did. That basically cost me any chance of playing small college baseball, but oh well....I had an impressive SlowPitch Softball career! Never wanted to pause my professional softball, so I never had the surgery. Just a lot of PT

Now I am being told that at 52 I am too old for the procedure and we will just have to wait until I replace it.
My physical therapist got a nice ski boat out of me constantly putting off surgery though!
