What Treatment Is Suggested Post Cuff Surgery?

I recently had r........r cuff surgery (Jan 24). The dr says it will just take time. BUT even my PT guy says there is still something wrong with my shoulder. I CAN NOT do some of the exercises that I should be able to do without terrible pain. (enough to bring me to tears) I want to know will Tricare cover me to go to another orth... dr for a second opinion? I really am in pain.

I would suggest you to get repeat MRI to make sure that everything is ok with your cuff repair. Sometime there can be failed repair as cuff may just get torn from where repair was done. I would suggest you to show it to a sports medicine specialist also. If you need my help send a new MRI report to me. I have good experience of dealing with such cases.
