Had my left one done in Sept, 2008. They said it would take an hour. It took four, ended up with 7 screws in my shoulder. Didn't sleep for 3 days after the surgery. Threw the pain meds in the trash can and went to advil. Went to therapy one time. Seen what they were doing and did it religiously every day. Ended up with a full range of motion and no issues. The pain level post surgery wasn't that bad. Nothing like getting your thumb in an M1 Garand, that my friends is intense pain. Get a recliner and ice packs as mentioned above. After 6 months I was pretty much back to normal.Don;t want to do it again.
