Hi everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Here's the situation. I joined the navy with waivers for both prior dislocations in my left shoulder and left wrist. The shoulder continued to pop out 2 years into my service. In May17 I underwent surgery and they repaired my labrum with 5 anchors and did a (remplissage)capsular shift with my rotator cuff. I'm only a month post-op with LIMDU and physical therapy for the next 6 scheduled. The doctor has already told me that there is going to be permanent loss of range and the pain persists daily. My question is, if the shoulder progresses with poor range of motion and a constant pain as is, is my military career in jeopardy or is a MEB unlikely?
