**Anyone out there have much more shoulder pain than before surgery?

I am just now at 3 month mark after a full tear supraspinatus repair. My pain is steadily getting worse and pain has now spread to my shoulder blade, high into my neck, armpit, entire arm, hand, and collar bone.

I cannot move my arm even a little but bow without sharp stabbing pains.

I never had near thus amount of pain prior to surgery and never this spread out.

I had an MRI done and it shows a re-tear. I think there is much more going on besides the re-tear. I think the anchor and sutures are causing me issues. I told my surgeon prior to surgery that i had issues with permanent sutures. He said I would be fine. He used Arthrex anchor and fiber tape sutures.

Now I have no strength at all left in my arm. The pain is nauseating.

Now I need to find a good surgeon in Cincinnati, Ohio area to remove this mess without injuring me even further.

Any info or advise?! I am a mess right now and want to scream.
