@jude1971 I too have had a rotten recovery with severe pain, and unable to do the strengthening exercises. I'm finally going to see a second opinion shoulder surgeon in a different city in April to find out what went wrong in my RTSR 9 months ago. I too was told this procedure was done to be free of pain and the second shoulder would be done in 90 days. I'm still worse than before surgery! And to make matters worse I have two new nerve pain problems. However my surgeon wouldn't do anything but more x-rays. I think now he must've been avoiding finding out what was wrong. Either it is because he doesn't want to help public health patients or because his skills are limited to the technical aspects of RSA . I have not had the second shoulder done, and will be asking questions about whether I should in addition to whether the first shoulder can be fixed. I'll post results of my investigations.
