I don't know how similar the injuries are, but my sister had a couple of shoulder injuries -- once from crashing on her bike years ago, and another from an auto accident. No amount of PT ever made her pain go away. She always had trouble with that shoulder. Finally last winter she had surgery. The doctor was surprised when he got in to find her shoulder "frozen." He had to physically "unfreeze" it -- twist it? Break it loose? All I know is she had horrible pain afterward, worse than ever.

But she did the PT religiously, even when it brought her to tears. The therapists told her they'd rarely seen anybody take it so seriously who wasn't an athlete. Her doc was amazed at her progress and speed of healing.

And now she's doing physical things she hasn't done in years, including looking into buying another bike.

All that is a long way around the block to say -- do your PT, be faithful, stick to it. You'll be glad you did. (My MIL refused to do PT for a torn rotator cuff because it "hurt too bad" and for the past twenty years she hasn't been able to lift her arm without pain. Sigh.)

I'm sure you already know this, though, and will stay on top of it!
