Third torn shoulder labrum

I was in a car wreck in December and as a result have torn my shoulder labrum for the third time. I'm a 30 year old male and the previous tears have occurred within the past 2 years. The nurse called and advised that it is a large tear to be careful with what I do until I see the surgeon which is Thursday. My question is at what point would a surgeon suggest a total or reverse shoulder replacement. I can't keep having shoulder surgeries once a year. Any advise would be great.

    Ugh...sounds painful.  Print off your post and show it to your doctor.  Let the doctor address your concerns and condition.  Good luck

    I'm sorry this is happening. I would discuss your concerns with your doctor and when I explains to you make sure that you understand what he is suggesting. And as always remember sometimes other doctors have other opinions. Bless you, I pray for your healing.

    I’m sorry to hear that. Out of curiosity, what are your symptoms of a labrum tear?
