Stiffness: 36 year old woman with post surgical stiffness 6w s/p rotator cuff repair. Please contact your treating surgeon and let them know that you are experiencing a high level of pain. It would be best to see your surgeon in person so that they can give you a physical exam to rule out any important postoperative problems and assess your neurovascular status. Call and speak to the MD on call if necessary.
