Has anyone experienced the horn blower’s effect after a RSA surgery?

I’m am almost 2 moths pre-op in physical therapy. I’m hoping within another month or so of PT it will go away. Will it go away and how long before it does.

Hello @myracorbo, if you are comfortable sharing a bit more, could you give a bit more detail on the issue you are experiencing? Have you already had your RSA? Is the hornblower symptom in regards to a lack of movement or some other issue?

I’ve already had the surgery. The horn blower effect is caused by, doctors say, scare tissue and still needing to work on strengthening deltoids.
