Hello,
Stiffness and pain are common after rotator cuff surgery. Recovery can take 4 to 6 months, depending on the size of the tear and other factors. You may have to wear a sling for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Pain is usually managed with medicines. Physical therapy can help you regain the motion and strength of your shoulder.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
