Hi, I had the same problem with my shoulder, but i opted for the arthroscopic surgery instead. I was told that after 4-5 months i would have a full range of motion. I had the surgery in December 2010 and as of today June 15th, I still cannot fully rotate my shoulder. When I do attempt to rotate it it makes clicking noises. I had 3 months of therapy where i continuously did exercises that caused me a lot of pain and in no way improved my over head movement and in extending my arm backwards.
I am just wondering if I might of re torn the tendon or if maybe my surgery was noneffective. Please give me any insight you have on this type of situation.
