I just had the surgery for that, the labrum tear and biceps tear along with decompressing the AC joint. I’m 65. Honestly, it has been a fairly easy recovery albeit slow. A full six weeks in the sling with the abductor pillow. During my visit in week 7, he gave me two weeks to wean off the sling which is where I am now. I’ve started PT with very slow range of motion and stretching. It is a long recovery but not having that awful pain makes it worth it.
