Hello everyone I'm new on this site.  I am 26 years old and has already had 2 SLAP repairs on my right shoulder.

Its been about 2 years since my last surgery.  Up until a week ago everything was great, I was lifting and starting to put on some size.  WELL SURE enough during a set of Lat Pulldowns (in front of my head) I heard and  felt a clicking popping on my left shoulder.  I freaked out immediatly made appointments with my OS and now I wait till Monday for MRI.  I havent worked out since last week but I keep moving my shoulder in different positions to see if it clicks or hurts.  It does !!!!  Even more depressing than that is the last couple days my right shoulder is starting to hurt again...I dont understand why becasue I havent done anything since last week.  I have a couple of questions if anyone has any time.

Regarding right shoulder( 2 surgeries already on it)

Would I have felt my right shoulder tear by the popping noise?

Why would it start to hurt 6 days after the incident instead of immedialty?

Can I get another MRI on a shoulder that has had surgery twice already?

Do chances of success get lower after a 2nd surgery on the same shoulder?

Regardin Left shoulder(virgin to surgery)

Is it common to get a Slap tear doing Lat Pulldowns?

How do you strentghen all the ligaments and tendons?  I've worked out at a slow pace.... My muscles could easily have handled more weight but my ligaments or tendons obviously couldn't.

Has anyone ever heard of that polytherapy ( I don't remember the name so Im sure I spelt it Wrong) working instead of getting surgery?  I heard its a shot that heals ligaments and tendons avoiding surgery all together.  (to me it sounds too good to be true)

I am so demoralized.  I don't know how to handle this situation.  Its hard enough worrying about 1 bad shoulder but 2...WOW!!!  Another thing is I'm going back to school(2hours away from Mom and Dad) August 25th for my last year of college...  Now I don't know if I can even do the surgery this summer or wait till I graduate.  Sorry for this being so lenghty  I needed to vent!  Any comments would be appreciated.  Thanks!!!
