Wow, I am 8 weeks out and am still at about 80% reaching my arm overhead.

I agree, it was so hard to get comfortable, even with the sling. It is just now starting to feel normal.

Yes I have pain 8 months after surgery. My shoulder aches after vacuming and doing housework. I still have great range of motion but the pain is awful.

Rotator cuff surgery 2006 right shoulder. Periodically experience burning sensation. However, had repeat hernia with mesh surgery April 2018 and now experiencing left shoulder pain and right shoulder burning pain. Is it posdible that hernia surgery exacerbated right shoulder burning pain.

Why would a Dr give you a cortisone shot after surgery for Rotator Cuff tear? It was 10 weeks ago I had the surgery and am still in pain, PT has been in place since week 3, after the shot my arm was numb and had no control for a few hours, I had 2 shots prior to surgery. I feel this did more harm than good

I had right rotator cuff surgery 5 weeks ago and have not had physical therapy. I, also, have fibromyalgia and fell down to the ground, with no serious injury. I have been having problems and pain like I had at beginning of rotator cuff problems. What did I do?
