Schilling says surgery not needed

There's been a lot of rumors today about Curt Schilling's shoulder. I've been holding off on this for a while till the man himself spoke. Schilling has said through his personal blog, that shoulder surgery is not needed and that he does not have a partially torn rotator cuff.

Many have said that Dr Craig Morgan has said the rotator cuff was torn and needed surgery. But according to Schilling, "I need to make it clear that Dr Morgan did NOT diagnose me with a tear of the rotator cuff at any time during this process, nor did he recommend rotator cuff surgery."

It is true he did seek a second opinion after the Boston Red Sox medical staff recommended rest and therapy. But after seeing an independent doctor for a third opinion, he decided that he would abide with the clubs wishes.

Stick situation there in Boston, after reading his blog you kind of get the feeling that he doesn't really know what he should do.
