i had surgery for a rotorer cuff tear and impingment on dec 18th. Still in a sling day and night and in extreme pain. Had same op a few years ago on other shoulder that was no where near as painful afterwards. Getting a little concerned as to if it should still hurt so much?

some ""Tidying up"" of tendon bits The physio who saw me before I left the
building -- threw my sling into the trash bin ,said it wasn't necessary. Felt NO
pain for three weeks, then an ocassional twinge ,did the exercises as instructed.
Pain progressed to upper arm muscle, then down to lower forearm., and now 3
months later ,I get stabbing pains, and less use of the arm, before surgery.
I have seen a physio who says that SHE is very disappointed with the state of
arm and shoulder The muscles have turned to jelly and being left handed, means that I am mega restricted. Possible acapuncture on Tuesday, but I won't
hold my breathe.

well, she didn't want to see me again .When I saw the surgeon two weeks later,he asked how I was getting on with the physio. I told him
she had "sacked" me, he said I needed physio.as the pain had started.Two weeks before I saw physio. shoulder , very painful and
stiff., had more visits but it just got worse
No one is going to say that the surgery did not go well. or that not
letting me have a sling ,would cause a problem, because the joint had
no support whilst it was healing.
I ride horses, but it is impossible to ride now, far too much pain.
peeling veg,, doing my hair, is really painful. Thank god my car is
an automatic.

have now .After care is sadly lacking. I suggested to the physio. that
she might have a word with the surgeon, and ask if he could sort out
a scan, if only to see what the problem is.

swelled. I felt no pain at all. anywhere.so didn't need any painkillers.
I was soooooo relieved that I was pain free, after two years of nagging
for some attention to be given .The problem was , no medics believed from my very first visit to the G.P when I said that I had torn something
in my shoulder..I react badly to strong pain killers, so Paracetamol
is the strongest I can cope with, and they don't do anything.
so I use Tiger balm, which does help
