DO THE THERAPY . . . do it every bit exactly as directed, yes, it will hurt.

My wife and a lady friend of hers had rotator cuff surgery a week apart several years ago. Wife did the therapy religiously -- it hurt and was a chore but she did it.

Her friend bitched and moaned -- "it hurts, it's not doing me any good." Eight months later she had to have the surgery repeated. She did the therapy that time.
