So the hurray was partially premature...
Met with the doctor last week... had little good news and a lot of complicated words thrown at me... He said.. some of what I had done to my shoulder was acquired and some was congenital condition. Apparently the way my muscle development has taken place itself was amusing to him.. providing laxity (ability to move beyond normal) to me... there was some abrasion of bicep muscles which was induced by my working out / playing habbits but there were several other issues that he found but did not fix since it was "Natural" and he said.. he doesn't work on fixing what nature has created... well that and because of my age (he referred to as young) that things might heal in the course of time..
So he put two stitches in front and one at back of my shoulder tightening the shoulder ONLY... and said in 3-4 months I should be back to normal BUT.........
I would have to cut down on my playing because it was not a 100% solved problem.... he said if I had to get back to playing rigorous game that badly, I would have to wear a brace on my shoulder that would prevent my shoulder from going beyond what it should...
Oh well.. at this point I am like - if I am able to work out, stretch and do my routine chores without much trouble, I am fine with it.. and may be an occasional game of tennis... of course I will play at least ONE match with my beloved friend ;-).... and may be more .,.. all depends on how I recover..
anyways.. that was the jist of what i got from my conv. with my doctor... for the time being for the next 5 weeks I am on Physical Therapy to start regaining strength !!!
