Expected outcomes...: If symptoms persist w/ >6 wks of diligent rehab & compliance w/ conservative treatment, a more aggressive treatment, such as surgery, may be required.. This arthroscopic outpatient procedure usually allows for a return to daily living activities within 2-6 wks. A full recovery can be long & arduous, but excellent results are achieved >80%...

Seek treatment: An orthopedic shoulder specialist will be able diagnose your conditions and get you on the road to recovery. Otc meds can help, physical therapy and maybe an injection of cortisone. Thank you.
