Sorry, but I disagree with heybro on that one. I had surgery 22 years ago and have been miserable ever since. However, in last 3 1/2 years I have improved greatly, by doing joint mobility exercises, self-myofascial release, and vacuum cupping. I never had the right type of physical therapy following my surgery. In my experience, the right type of therapy, even years after surgery, can make a huge difference.
