I had torn rotator cuff surgery 3 weeks ago last Thursday. Painful? yes, but less pain after surgery than before..... just a different kind of pain but less I think the hardest thing is knowing you have limitations of things that you cant do.....Do not know if my age has bearing on this but i know when I overdo I get so tired and worn out. Hurts most after physical therapy when you do strengthening excercises. No lifting of any kind. , thats the hardest thing. Even doing dishes requires lifting, lol. Keep sense of humor it is difficult to feel like wounded bird! lol I will say I am not sorry I had surgery they were able to get rid of bone spurs and the catching feeling hurt everytime I moved arm. Maybe I am the exception my pain is less..... Hope this helps.
