I need some information from anyone who has had rotator cuff surgery. I had surgery way back in August. I did not have any trouble at all afterwards but for the last 3 or 4 weeks, my shoulder and arm have really been hurting. Is that normal?

Sorry to hear about the difficulties you've been having lately. I have no personal experience with such surgery. However, I do know that scar tissue that forms after surgery can sometimes cause soreness and outright pain for a long time after the area has healed. Cold, damp weather can contribute to the pain.

My hubby had shoulder surgery in August and again about 10 days ago. Not major surgery for rotator cuff but just some bone spurs. His pain has been constant. We sure wonder about the pain problem also.
