The first several months. Ice was my best friend. And then starting PT was painful and long. I went 64 times. Doc put a plate in there that he said would dissolve in a year or two. My range of motion is 95% with no pain. Actually, the other shoulder hurts now so I use the surgery-shoulder for everything. I will die before I have another shoulder surgery, especially with my dominant hand. Hang in there.
