Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it usually take to recover from shoulder surgery? + –

Recovery can range from 6 weeks to several months, depending on the procedure and your overall health. Most patients wear a brace or sling early on to protect repairs and minimize pain. Physical therapy often starts once the surgeon confirms healing progress, helping rebuild strength and motion.

Do I need to wear a sling or immobilizer 24/7 after shoulder surgery? + –

Early in recovery, most surgeons recommend wearing a sling or immobilizer around the clock—except for brief removal when showering or doing gentle exercises (if approved). This consistent support helps avoid accidental movements that might damage repaired tissues.

When can I resume driving or daily activities post-surgery? + –

Typically, you should not drive until you can comfortably and safely operate a vehicle without compromising your healing shoulder. This may be several weeks or longer, based on your surgeon’s advice. Gradual return to chores like cooking or light housework usually begins once your pain is controlled and mobility improves with therapy.

Which brace is best for protecting my shoulder after surgery? + –

Opt for a brace that offers firm immobilization, adjustable straps, and comfortable padding. A product like the Breg SlingShot Neutral Shoulder Brace keeps the shoulder in a safe, neutral position, reducing stress on healing tissues and preventing damaging movements.

Can I sleep lying flat on my back or side after shoulder surgery? + –

Many patients find a semi-reclined position (like a recliner or propped-up pillows) more comfortable in the early stages. This reduces pressure on the shoulder and keeps surgical repairs aligned. If you prefer side sleeping, your surgeon may allow it with proper bracing and padding to protect the incision area and maintain correct joint posture.
