No worries.

How old is your girlfriend? You had asked what to expect. Younger patients generally will do better faster. Older patients lose more motion but still cope well typically.

I’m an ortho shoulder surgeon. Most patients are in therapy for 3-4 months and possibly longer depending on how stiff she gets. Varies by patient. The first few weeks are the worst. Try to keep her spirits up. It will get better!

Sorry to be brief but on my phone. Happy to help answer anything I can for you.
