My wife had shoulder surgery 8 weeks ago. Her preop MRI was showing a lot of possible damage, but when the surgeon got in there, he had to do a simple labrum repair and clean off arthritic bone changes at the A/C joint.
She wore a shoulder brace/harness for two weeks and was then allowed to remove it and start PT. The ortho PA said "just don't try and raise your arm above your head". She's been having increased pain, each week, and thought it was because of her PT and her being aggressive, at home, with her therapy. The PA today told her it was from "frozen shoulder".
Anyone else deal with this? I've no experience with it. Looks like continued PT is the best approach but he told her a steroid injection and/or surgery as possible future options.
