Got a good friend whose 17 year old kid just had his shoulder done in August. A shame he hurt it so early in life, but he'll heal just fine cause he's still young. It took about a month to get full movement he says, but he's got NO PAIN now. He goes to therapy weekly and he's making good progress. He can't throw a ball for at least another 6 months maybe longer depending on follow up MRIs. Hope it works out for you. Best of luck.
