Hi Mate, I did mine when I dislocated a shoulder playing rugby. It got so bad in the end that when in certain positions the shoulder would literally fall out of the joint.

 

I had open surgery done and was in a sling for a month, and physio for another 5 months after so in total 6 months before I could resume contact sports. The physio did however give me the all clear to be lifting weights as heavy as i liked after about 5 months.

 

The operaation site and joint itself ached for a good year afterwards though. I'm 6 years on from the op now and it's great, stable shoulder, no ongoing problems.

 

I believe that they also do this procedure with Keyhole procedure now and the recovery time is much quicker- something like 12 weeks, but not 100% sure- speak to your surgeon as to which procedure you'll be having.

 

Good luck with it!
