I was out of my sling in 2 weeks. If you play football or a contact sport like that, they say 1 year for full recovery, since you are constantly taking on hits to that area. When I had the other shoulder done a year in a half ago, I was on the ice machine all day for 4 straight days, but was doing the wall walk the next day after surgery. They want you to move it so it will not get stiff and can cause issues later when it is healing. Since this Slap was more damaged, I could not do anything for these last 4 weeks, but the dangle swing. It was frustrating because I could feel how stiff it was and the other was moving and healing so much faster.

My other shoulder was done in May so I took the whole summer off from riding and just did some boating. I was back on the bike in Sept, but was MTB riding in late July with no issues. I guess it depends on the doctor. I have a great sports doctor who works with the local high school football teams, so he is not the one to let you sit around and wants you back out there.
