A 59 year-old Fargo businessman man recently found himself confronted with an all too common torn rotator cuff diagnosis and a difficult decision – endure the pain or risk the surgery. Lee’s pain was so severe he often could not sleep at night and could no longer continue to do the activities in life he loved, such as golf and working out, so bad was the pain. Frustrated and desperate, he tried several cortisone injections, which offered only temporary relief. Finally, an MRI showed a rotator cuff tear, his Mayo Clinic doctor recommended surgery as his last option to repair the damage.
