I have had three surgeries on my right shoulder in the past 5 years. The first was to repair a torn labrium, the second was because the capsule was tightened too much in the first surgery and to clean up arthritis, the last one was to repair a torn rotator cuff and decompression subacrominal space. In the last 3 months, I've started having pain again. I've tried taking ibuprofin and doing some of the physical therapy exercises again so I don't loose the range of motion that I worked so hard to regain. Along with the pain, my shoulder pops when I reach across my body or above my head and pain again while lying down. I made an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon, but can't get in for 6 weeks. I don't know what to do in the meantime.
