Man if it needs surgery i would go ahead and do it and get it over with. I had a shoulder injury from motocross racing and just let it go. One morning i wake up and my arm felt like concrete i couldnt raise my arm. It just got worse and worse and to the point to where i could hardly dram my bow. I went in and a bone on the end of my collar bone had chipped off. I had to sit out of racing but was back hunting that same fall. Kind of like what my mom told me. better to fix it now than to wait and it get even worse and you not be able to pull a bow back at all.
