A member asked:
If i get surgery on my shoulder for ligament damage will i be able to play waterpolo as good as i once was, ?

Probably yes: Unless you are a world class athlete, healing up from surgery will allow you to return to former levels of activity. You should be sure to follow all the recommended stretching and rehab programs advised for best possible results.
