Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rotator cuff surgery - how painful is it?

I have rotator issues and my orthopedic basically told me to baby my shoulder. His words to me at the time is you will not like the fix. Co-worker had issues, pain and range of motion issues. Was told because of the damage he needed surgery. After rehab he had pain and range of motion issues pretty much the same as before the surgery. This is of course anecdotal but the shoulder is a complex joint and while technology is improving its better to not need surgery. YMMV.
