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?
Answer:
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.

So what would the alternative be? If something requires surgery, age has nothing to do with it.

it's a matter of medically nessacary.
if it was medically needed, and helped you, then yes, it was very very smart.:)
