big time suffer with my right shoulder. Smashed it to pieces last September. Dislocated it, snapped the collar bone away from the AC joint. Along with other damage that I caused to all the tendons and muscles in the shoulder. I think it is the best thing that happened to me regarding golf. Had to do a swing re-build and change a couple of things to accommodate my shoulder.

I did not swing a club for 6 months. My advice would be to listen to your physio and do not rush into playing. After all it is winter so it will be a good excuse not to go out playing on those cold will terms days.

Operation on right shoulder in 2010 due to rotator cuff problems & a small splinter of bone from my shoulder blade had to be removed due to a skiing accident.
I'm now having issues with my left shoulder, again it's a rotator cuff problem, and get my MRI scan results in a couple of weeks.
The worst pain is when I'm sleeping, or trying to, but it's not so bad during the day. Putting a shirt on is a nightmare but playing golf is not too bad!
Plenty of rest, plenty of physio and all should be right in time for more clement weather.
Good luck & keep us posted,

I have rotator cuff problems from an old gym injury, tendon gets inflamed and it affects my swing big time.
If surgery isnt required, then rest and anti-inflams (only over short periods like a few weeks) normally helps. When you haven't felt pain for a week or 2 then can you only start thinking about using it properly again

I finally went to see a physio last week because of mine. Rotator cuff tendonitis, but not a very bad case luckily.
It only affects my golf by being a little stiff for the first few holes but swinging doesn't cause pain.
The pain is when I try to do anything with my arm behind me. As someone else said, putting on a shirt (or jacket) is awful. I also haven't been able to play pool properly for a couple of months because I can't stretch my arm out above my head with any weight on it.
Ibuprofen, exercises and a couple more visits for ultrasound and he reckons it'll be sorted in maybe 5-6 weeks.
