What’s the recovery time after shoulder arthrolysis surgery?
It can take up to 6 months for your shoulder joint to completely heal after surgery, with pain and swelling lasting for several weeks. Gentle exercises guided by a physiotherapist will need to be started right away, which can help increase shoulder movement and strength. Your consultant may also recommend wearing a sling for the first 1 to 2 weeks after surgery.
