3 weeks ago rc cmplete tear repair surgery, normal to feel sharp pain in shoulder when take deep breath & shrug shoulder & when in car w/certain movement?

Yes: Rotator cuff repair surgery tends to be very painful. It takes 6-8 weeks for the tendon to begin healing down to the bone and months after to regain strength.
