A member asked:

I had rotary cuff surgery april 2015 and i am still hurting and swollen ever since i had it don't! why does it still bother me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get in re-evaluated: Many people have degenerative rotator cuff tears as we mature and some of them can be traumatic. At this time after surgery I would recommend getting another Exam and possibly an MRI. Ask your orthopaedic surgeon for more details. Physical examination and imaging (MRI) are needed
