Looks like to me that you will have to have surgery.

I have torn my labrum twice and had surgery twice. Depedning if they can do arthroscopic surgery or not will determine the rehab time. If they can do it arthroscopically, the rehad time is considerable less. If not, it can take up to 6 months of rehab I was told.

Honestly, elect for the surgery. It will take time to get back to normal, but it usually offers a 110% recovery rate. I have been very thankful to have all three surgeries on my shoulder... the last due to Bone Spurs.

GL with whatever you decide!
