Hi,
Thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As in my clinical experience, we do not find shoulder impingement cases to undergo surgery as the physical therapy has helped to the majority of patients. In shoulder impingement the ROM of the shoulder is restricted and regaining back through exercises is always possible, as research supports this as well. In case if you have undergone the surgery, than post surgery a better physical therapy rehabilitation plan has to be implemented for future goals. Incase if this is missed, you can start the post surgical shoulder rehabilitation program to get the shoulder functionality back.
