Apparently not. The doctor said they 'scope when there are little
fragments that need to be shaved down, but for this, it's traditional
surgery.

I have an appointment to get a second opinion in a couple of weeks, this
from a different kind of doctor, a chiro who also does some Chinese
medicine (acupuncture, I believe) and comes very highly recommended. I
also can't afford the time with my arm in a sling for at least another
couple of months, anyway, so I will keep living with this, doing what I
can, and we'll see what happens. Surgery will be mid-October at the
very earliest, and might be as late at January of next year.

They need to use a rifle or is that just to shoot Steve from a distance?
