Been there...done that...got the T shirt.

It was rotator cuff surgery, 2 arthroscopic and 1 big cut for a bone spur.

4 days of intense pain about a 9 on the 1 to 10 scale.
2 weeks of moderate pain about a 6
9 months of light to moderate pain 4 to 6

Complete no movement for 8 weeks except for painful physical therapy.

Limited movement for 6 weeks after that.

Self rehab started at 10 weeks where I could do the work with no assistance.

Lifting normally after 4 months.

No pain and full range of movement after 13 months.

I had arthroscopic surgery and I was back playing hockey at 75% in 3 months and lifting at 100% again in 4 1/2 months. My promblem was it would pop out 3 or 4 times in a game. I think I could have got back to 100% if I would have tried earlier.

Pop out, that must have been a lot more painful than any after surgery effects :surprised:
