    Question Manipulation of shoulder after slap repair

    I had a slap repair in September of 2010. After the surgery I was in sling for 4 weeks and then started PT. I also did my stretches faithfully at home and still do. PT was over in January, but since I did not have full ROM I have been seeing a PT friend who does more deep tissue work. However, despite all the PT, and the stretches my ROM now April 7, 2011 is still about 80%. I went to see my surgeon yesterday and he is suggesting I have manupulation of the shoulder done, under anestesia. I would really like some feedback on the procedure itself and also the recovery afterwards. Some people on other posts talk about daily PT and then 3 times per day stretches and still a signigicant amount of pain. Also, if anybody out there has been at this point: 6 months after surgery, 80% rom and did get to 100% rom by just keeping at it with PT and daily stretching. Thank you so much in advance.
