I have a rod and screws in my humerus bone. surgery was a month ago. i am still in excruciating pain. i am a body builder. will i ever lift again?

Yes: Yes! athletes do well and always get frustrated with the rate of healing. (its probably a positive prognostic sign) keep working with your pt and accept that it will always hurt a bit, but you will most likely lift again. It can take a year for full recovery.
