A member asked:
Is pain and stiffness 6 weeks after sad shoulder surgery normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain/stiffness occur: Pain and stiffness is definitely common at just 6 weeks after a subacromial decompression of the shoulder. Physical therapy and NSAIDs will help. Expect a steady improvement in motion, pain relief and overall feeling better between 6 and 12 weeks after similar surgery.
