Can I have a full, normal, range of motion after a dislocated shoulder surgery?

Question

I have been told that after such a surgery, I will not be able to have a normal range of motion in my shoulder. Is that true?

Answer 1

Although it depends on the severity of the original dislocation, there are specific exercises designated to a patient via physical therapist that can help you recover this.  If done daily, you should be able to get a nearly normal range of motion.  It may not be as perfect as you originally started, but it can return to a functional state.  Consult your surgeon.

Answer 2

That depends on the amount of time and effort you are prepared to apply to the problem.
