As ET and my PT would say "Be Careful" - I had the same surgery in October - it was supposed to be a one hour simple fix, and took him almost 3 hours.

We are in what my amazing PT calls the "danger zone" - you think you are healed, but you're really just on the way. The time from 3-6 months is when people get too brave about what they try to do with the repaired arm. Sometimes they undo all that hard work.

Just today I had to remind myself not to lift groceries, push the full shopping cart, or run the vacuum cleaner with me repaired (dominant) arm. I know I will pay with pain later today.

I noticed this morning that my shoulder near where the bone spurs were removed is swollen (and it aches) - last week it was fine, but my arm cramped after doing some exercises - as a veteran of numerous ortho surgeries, I always assume it is part of the healing process, and ignore it unless it really hurts.

It will be interesting to hear what your surgeon has to say.
