Surgery and rehab is painful, but the recovery of function is pretty remarkable. If you are as limited in function as you say I don't know where there are any other options. Also, make sure your orthopedic surgeon does a lo of shoulders and ask your anesthesiologist about a nerve block for the surgery and post op pain relief. A single shot nerve block will give you up to 24 hours of pain relief post op. The first day is by far the worst. Good luck and get better soon.
