i had this done in december 2013. all done except the rotary cuff tear as this was found to be irepairable. i had compleat rest for three monthsafter which i had regained a lot of use in that shoulder however it took another three months before i could climb a ladder(i work as a roofing contractor). The origional problem which was, severe pain in upper arm at night, was cured however i was now getting pain at top of shoulder.
have had another opp.10 days ago. it is a trial proccedure, Subacromial “Biodegradable Spacer”,
would like to heare from any one else who has had this

i guessed I was looking at at least 6 months before a full return to work.
movement is improving now after 2 months but pain still persists
hope your latest op is successful for you
