How are you doing now?
I am ok, 12 years post-op. I never got full range of motion back, but it is not bad. I really have to be aware of the amount of physical labor I am doing, especially if weight is involved. That is my right shoulder. My left shoulder has issues now. There may be a slight tear in the RC. but I have cyst deep in the joint, below the notch where the collarbone connects to the shoulder. At times, it is very painful, especially if I have slept on it in an odd position. It is not to the point of needing surgery, and surgery is not going to happen unless/until it gets to the point that the pain is extreme, and, it overall is greatly affecting my life in a negative way.
