Jim, when I had my shoulder surgery, they told me to leave it in a sling for 5 weeks. I did what I was told. After the 5 weeks they started me on my physical therapy. My shoulder was already locked down to minimal movement. After 8 months, they took me back in to "manipulate" the shoulder. For those of you who don't know what that means, they put you under and then by forcing the arm around, tear the scar tissue that has built up. After the manipulation, I was in therapy for another 4 months.

Go to another specialist and see what they say on your knee if your not happy with the results of the first surgery. I did and was told by two different doctors that my shoulder has gotten about as good as it is ever going to get. Now I have to adapt, adjust, and overcome the hand I was dealt.
