bummer Wade,
I've been plauged with shoulder probs since highschool and had full shoulder reconstuction after a compound fractured collar bone/scapula? followed by arto surgey a couple years after....I obvoiusly had no choise but IMO if its not dislocating, there a good chance it will heal on its own....after a few weeks of immobilization. Just do what you can to stay off the operating table!! If you do go under the knife your looking at a solid 2months recovery anyway, and then your shoulder will still hurt randomly anyway (arthridus?).
Immobilize for a few weeks
Hot/cold therapy really helps
Alcohol Dehydrates and inflames tissues...no good...
Also, I think sleeping habits can play a big role in shoulder issues...learn to sleep on your back with your arms at your side, if you go under the knife your gonna be sleeping like that anyway so just get used to it.
OHHH yeah, sell the Flinstone modile!!! welcome to the 21st century!!!
