I had previously had surgery on the other side for a torn labrum. For that shoulder I did 6 months of rehab before surgery and it was all just wasted time.
The pain this time was so sharp and stabby that there was just no way that rehab was going to make any kind of a difference.
The surgeon's default course of action was physical therapy, but I explained the same thing to him and he just kind of nodded and said, "yeah, it does feel like we're going to end up at surgery anyway." So it didn't take much convincing.
