I had a complete tare, partial tare and a detached bicep tendon. It took me about six months to get back to full and strenuous duty. Your surgeon will have you go to physical therapy to learn exercises that will strengthen your shoulder. The first week or so you will not move your arm at all. I believe it was six weeks before I started physical therapy. You will not be able to lift your own arm when you first start. Take it easy and do what they tell you. The last thing you need is to tare it again. Good luck.

Yes, I am a year and a half out of surgery now and I feel great. Even after the six months is up and you have full range of motion you really need to be cognizant of what you're doing.
