Lot Of Pain After Rotator Cuff Surgery, Chances Of Nerve Damage, Currently On Physio. What Should I Do ?

Hi, I had rotator cuff surgery in Dec. 2011 and started physio 6 weeks later. I am still doing physio and have alot of pain. I am going for a EMG test monday because there may be damage to a nerve. I have complained about this for months and am reluctant to continue physio. What do you think. I have done 45 treatments up to yesterday. What should I do?

If you have already done so many session then there is no need of any further physiotherapy. You can do all these exercises at home. Take Brufen for pain killer .Also do hot water fomentation.
