Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you have got surgery over right shoulder . I think complete recovery from surgery will take nearly 3months. Till then you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen and follow advise of your treated doctor. HE must have advised you some exercises . You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
