Recovery Expectations For Rotator Cuff Surgery?

Please no cut and paste from search engines, I’m looking to hear from people who have actually had the surgery.
I have a bone spur, torn rotator cuff and torn tendon. I know it’s 6-8 weeks general recovery time, but what are the week-to-week things I can expect after surgery (ie., horrible pain for x-days, improved pain for x-days, can begin to move after x-days.) I want to return to work as soon as possible. How realistic is that? I’m a wreck about what I’m reading about pain expectations, especially after reading some responses to a similar question. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
I also get very VERY sick with general anesthesia and pain killers (Zofrain works sometimes). Thanks in advance to those who would recommend alternate treatments, but no thank you. Believe me I tried. I have to have it done. I’ve exhausted all other options and it’s almost three years now.
Thanks for your input.

Sore, Weak Shoulder Please Help May Be Torn Rotator Cuff???

Im a tree climber and about Four days ago while in a tree i was almost in a sit up position when my shoulder kinda popped and when i looked at it my shoulder was completly behind where it was supposed to be…after i got down from the tree it went back to its normal position…Now 4 days later it is sore and feels like it could pop back out when i try to pick up something moderatly heavy…when i rotate my shoulder a certain way it sounds like the muscle is tearing……Any ideas if its a rotator cuff tear, ligiments, or dislocated shoulder???? its not a horrible pain but def. uncomfortable and very sore….Im not sure if its even back in the socket???? Thanks in advance

Rotator Cuff Injuries?

Hi. I’m pretty sure ive gotten a rotator cuff injury after some weight lifting. do any of you know a website that has a list of exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff muscle? Can you give me a link to the site? My orthopedist said nothing is wrong with my bones but he didnt check my muscles. he just said do some isometric exercises. i dont know if they actually work though. can someone help me out. thanks in advance.
