Man, that really sucks. I've dealt with shoulder stuff before, but not like what you have, more just tears and strains, and I've had to miss out on months of training, and before I knew it that turned into years of training. Thank God my shoulders are good now, more or less, but it's my knees these days.
Not to get into your personal business, as I'm sure you've done your due diligence and you already stated you've spoken with multiple surgeons, but have you done extensive bloodwork, allergy, and genetic testing? I did the found my fitness thing-- Rhonda Patrick was one of Rogan's best guests ever, her company will take your DNA testing results from something like Ancestry or 23 and Me, and cross reference it against a database of any know genetic mutations across your genome that indicate foods etc. that should be avoided. I found out some pretty important stuff. I have a mutation, for instance, where I should avoid Vitamin E completely because it takes a really long time to process it. A report is generated very quickly, and it's fucking cheap, like ten or twenty bucks.
I really feel bad for you that maybe you'll have to completely quit training, and I would exhaust every possible avenue before such a life altering surgery.
I try to stay up to date on all the latest stuff that's happening medically. Not in the woo woo way, but actual cutting edge technology.
They can go in, cut out sections of bone, and replace it with a coral matrix, then the bone grows through it, and the coral is eventually just cycled out. They can probably go in, fish some of those pieces out, shape it up, and then do some stem cell therapy and regrow a lot of that joint. You're still relatively young and in good condition, an ideal candidate because you'd probably heal up well. Just throwing shit at the wall, maybe something sticks. Man, I would try to throw the kitchen sink at it if a replacement is gonna put you on the sidelines permanently.
Good luck, keep us updated.
