My P.T. bud, who's treated many post op shoulders, says it take a year or so to recover.
I had a complete R.C. tear, couldn't raise my arm at all. Had it repaired and it did take quite a while to heal.
I sold my 10 ga Rem and my .404J, thinking I'd never shoot those big guns again. I'm right handed and it was my right shoulder.
Well, 5 yrs later, here I am shooting bud's 416 Rem, getting him ready for Africa. When he saw this footage, he suggested sending it to our orthopedic surgeon (same guy did his R.C. surg, and is a hunter).
I sent this link, complementing him on his handiwork. Watch my shoulder reacting to the recoil. Shot it a good bit, no issues.
Hit the mute button to hear the gun speak. This was at bud's camp. He built is up like that due to flooding.
