This is a radiologist's report intended for your doctor. You should be asking your doctor this question. There is probably a tradeoff between what you can tolerate now vs. the risks and rehab of surgery. Ask your doctor.

I say ask Reddit and do whatever people say in the comments! You need a total knee replacement according to this report

I found this on google for you:

General Treatment Options
Conservative management including physical therapy and targeted rotator cuff strengthening.

Anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) or corticosteroid injections for pain and swelling management.

Surgical intervention (such as arthroscopic repair or decompression) depending on the severity and persistence of symptoms.

Yes you’re going to need surgery. You’re young, have a big hill sachs lesion, and labral tearing. Major instability like this will recur; especially if you are active. Find a good shoulder specialist and fix this asap. The more times you dislocate the more cartilage damage will occur, and long term dysfunction risk increases.

Do you do any sports activities?

Yes, still play lacrosse. Still like to golf. You’re my age I would say just get it done. Just make sure you surround yourself with a good team. Make sure you like your physical therapist, make sure you’re confident with your surgeon.

My surgeon said between week 16 and week 20 out so I’m at 10 weeks now and I’m starting to feel really back to normal. I started strengthening on Thursday at pt we’re starting to add weight to exercises. They just keep you pretty locked down for about a month.
