I wouldn't wait. But, be prepared, it is painful and the recovery is long. But I now have 90% range of motion. I did 64 sessions of PT after surgery but it was worth it. Good luck!

I agree, I'm in PT right now and it is a long haul. First you wait for it to heal before starting PT (in order to make sure it didn't tear out the repairs). I had 3 full tears, one being the bicep. It was repositioned and the other two tendons were reattached. It is a long recovery and you must have patience. If you try to early to use it, you'll damage it. I won't lie, it hasn't been an easy time but my PT is keeping me on track and I get stronger every week.
