Specializes in Hand Surgery

The correct: Thing to do is to return to your surgeon and ask him/her to re examine your shoulder. He will be the most qualified person to tell you. Sometimes shoulders take a while to became pain free, but is impossible to give you a good advice without examining you. Good luck.
