Its been 8 weeks now, still cant lift arm without lots of pain. And forget about going over my head. Pt says it seem that my rotator cuff repair did not rip, or you could not lift it at all. I am at the same level of pain and movement befor surgery. And I told them I am a carpenter. Lifting is somthing I do all day. And the doctor is telling me to lift nothing. Pt is all passive movement. I do everything they tell me, I dont see real progress. Now a workers comp nurse wants to come to my house to see me. This cant be good. Has anyone been told it takes time but really there was something wrong. I just feel the pinching and pain shuold be alot lower.
