I am still working 60+ hours a week under ADA restrictions and job modification (haha). I manage a big-box retailer on midnight's. Originally was hurt when pulling a 2400lb pallet of dog food and the jack broke pulling my shoulder.

I hope I see some improvement. The doctor mentioned immobilizing the shoulder and I should get some relief. He was very specific for who I saw for therapy. After reading thru here and other sites, I have seen many do not have great results with therapy.
The right PT can help,but if you continue to work it might not help as much. Ive been off work for over a year and am getting better with pt.
Look on the list I posted called New PT list to see if there is one in your area.
good Luck
