Yes, you'll want to avoid "frozen shoulder" it takes some PT moving your arms and then guided stretching sessions. There was a time as a car passenger in the front seat, I could not reach anything in the back seat with my left arm, or as the driver, pull the car door shut easily. I am 1-1/2 yrs out and my left arm is still weaker, but I get those dumbells up! It will be awhile before using those; think streching band.

I would recommend physical therapy. It helped me tremendously. You are also given advice on continuing stretches to relieve tightness.
