I had rotator cuff surgery done 3 weeks ago.when will the extreme pain start to get better?

2-6 weeks: Depending on what is done and your pain tolerance it can take as long as 6 weeks for the pain to be alleviated. Arthroscopic procedures usually feel less pain initially and duration-wise vs. An open procedure.

Hopefully soon: Takes time to heal. Therapy is painful.
