Hello my name is Michael, I'm from nj. I used to be an extreme golfer and I have a slap tear in my left shoulder. In the morning its the worst. I had an MRI done in 2006 and I have the disc. What do I do? How do I go about getting better without surgery. Most people think people are drug seekers and I have an obvious injury. Can anyone tell me some advice. Thank you.

Also can I email doctors? Would that be the way to go

I'm in pain and I'm calling these doctors and they are treating me like a drug seeker. I don't know what to do

Sure.. Always start with your GP. They can examine, diagnose, prescribe medication, and refer to specialists if needed.

Remember, you are looking for a solution to a medical problem, not just after "drugs."

Best wishes.

Michael, you make an appointment with your family doctor. If you don't have one, get a list of nearby doctors from your insurance company and choose one. Bring your old films to the first appointment.

Good luck.
