    My first response would be to go back to the hospital, get put back to sleep and awaken after everything is finished! I had “massive damage”…4 1/2 hrs of repair work after Workman”s Comp had me in physical therapy!!Comfort position is ultraimportant. Good Luck! The constant pain has had me in the house in a recliner almost 24/7 for a week. I will stop here until I hear from you. Have you had the surgery?Coachsig

    after your surgery, you should follow up with your md, the orthopedist, and he or she will provide you with a time frame for rest then tell you when it is time for you to seek Physical therapy. it may vary depending on the severity of the repair. seek a Physical therapist that can spend one on one time with you for ROM and progress to strength and stability. Your arm should feel better as you regain range of motion and the inflammation subsides.

    I had surgery 18 mos ago for a massive rotary cuff tear, though I have full use of my arm now, I hear a squeaking/rub sound at times when I move my arm, what would that sound be from? Thanks, Louann
