@hckynut - I remember those rubber type cables well - had one in every color and faithfully used them several times a day.

I have heard this also....I wonder why one is done over the other? Boy, the rotator cuff surgery is a "B*tch" !! 5 months later and I'm still in pain.

Thank you .... I'm bracing myself for it.

Recovering from a recent shoulder replacement is not fun by any means. Injuries to shoulders are just the pits

Yep, I rotator cuff tears in both my shoulders. I had to have surgery to repair them, then a course of physical therapy (for each one). My left shoulder is about 85% usable but there are some things I'll never be able to use it for again. My right shoulder is 100% good.
This was several years ago. If I had the same problems today, I'd look into stem cell therapy before choosing surgery (6 weeks in what felt like a strait-jacket was no fun).
