Good luck on the surgery. Rotator cuff repair alone is pretty minimal. Follow the rehab closely and adhere to the arm down time requested by your surgeon.
Look into DMSO cream for pain afterwards. Works wonders and doesn't require 1000mg of ibuprofen continuosly in your system to work as an anti-inflammatory.
