Having undergone 5 months of intense PT 3x/week, and an open AC decompression all I can say is LISTEN TO THE DOCTOR. I would not want to relive this period for anything. Do NOT jeapordize your recovery or your shoulder while it's healing. Just say "No."
Knott was right when she talked about her patient that might never be able to comb her hair - I have been there, done that, got that T-shirt. I got past that stage, but putting my hand on top of my head was impossible for about 3 months and I can barely do it now.

Several years ago my husband had a bad motocross wreck. He broke his collar bone, had a serious concussion and his leg was temporarily paralyzed from the knee down.
Two weeks after the accident he started riding his spin bike. Clipped into the pedals, he spun with the good leg and the other went along for the ride. He supported himself with his good arm and added weight to the injured side as he healed. He was able to safely exercise until he was healthy enough to get back on the road. An unexpected obstacle and jolt could have aggravated his injuries and set back his recovery not to mention the danger of riding with a compromised body that may not be prepared to react appropriately when presented with said obstacle.
Have you thought about starting out on a spin bike?
