I had surgery on my shoulder im 16, is that smart?

do you think 16 year old volleyball players should be getting surgery at such a young age?

Surgery at ANY age is a case-by-case situation. I can't say if the surgery was warranted because I don't have the specifics, but more than likely, it was necessary. It is always a good idea in any case of surgery to at least get a second opinion from another board-certified surgeon.

I know enough surgeons to know that they don't cut unless it's necessary. Even the most simple surgery can have lethal complications...it's a risk that they aren't willing to take.

My best bet is saying that this surgery was necessary, and you'll be better off for having had it.
