Possibly: Don't speculate. In view of significant shoulder pain you should consult your orthopedic surgeon who performed the operation for evaluation and advice.

My neck, left shoulder & upper back are stiff & sore after loading 1 bag into the overhead bin in a airplane yesterday. It seems a tad better this AM. Could this be a pulled muscle? How do I recover faster/when can I begin working out again?
