Doc said that I can and should start working out immediately, which I have, and that I should start at about 30% of where I was before and steadily increase. In three weeks I can begin working to muscle failure and in around two months it should be all back to normal. In about a month the shoulders should be close to equal in strength.
I have stupidly waited for too long. A series of exercises that the Doc suggested were ones I had stopped doing because I thought it put too much strain on the shoulder.

Well that's good, at least you went to get it checked out by a DOC. Your Doctor didn't send you to Physical Therapist (PT)? I know for mine the Doc had tried to work my "pain" away through PT workouts. I couldn't do most of them so thats when we did the surgery option. Its good to know that your shoulder is okay.
I go for my ORTHO DOC check up next week and my six week check up is coming up too. I'll post on what they say, so far I'm tracking great by all reports. All movements are fine and my PT DOC likes what she see's. I start more PT ROM next week, something called active agressive movements. My PT Asst did one minute of the "workout" Holy Sheets!! That stuff hurts!! I had to get on little white Prek Pill after that one.
