@robinsod Welcome back to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
4 years is a long time to not have strength in your arm after surgery.
Members like @colski @basslakebabe19 @wildebjef @anncgrl have discussed this topic recently.
Below I have linked a somewhat related discussion where members like @ltsally @jetsky28 @bernster @basslakebabe19 have also recently discussed shoulder surgery.

May I ask what your surgeon and physical therapist has to say about your lack of strength in your arm?

Did you do PT religiously from the start?
How does your shoulder hurt? Nerve, muscle, or replacement?
