Report it to the --: Surgeon so as to be assessed and appropriately treated. Most likely nothing much, but you need to be evaluated. Good luck.

See your ORS: Falls after rot cuff surgery are more likely to result in re- tears than your mechanism of injury.If u don't have worsening pain than unlikely you have retorn your cuff.3 wks.After our arthroscopic rc repairs we allow passive motion only'straight up' ( forward flex ion in plane of scapula) but no motion away from the body (abduction).See your ors soon and let him examine you. Best of luck!
