I'm due to have a repair of a full thickness tear and bone shaved next week, has anyone had this done? How painful is it post op?

Notes on Rotator cuff surgery

my hubby had surgery for two torn tendons, rupturing his rotator cuff nearly four weeks ago and I am so surprised at how down he is and how much he is sleeping. He is not great at communicating and I want to understand the difficulties he is facing and the extent of the pain he is experiencing, maybe you could advise having been through this yourself. He is seeing the surgeon this Friday but he thinks the op hasn't entirely worked! We were given so little after care advice after the operation at the hospital and I think we are both surprised the affects this has had on him, he says it's much worse not than before the op, is this normal. Any advice you could offer would be appreciated...many thanks in advance.
