You need to do a lot of physical therapy(does not mean heavy weights, just means several months of specific exercises to get your shoulder as close to normal function as you can), and never stop the exercises. That alone will help you out. Getting the muscles bigger around the shoulder will improve your mobility/strength/decrease your pain. If you have pain while doing the exercises let your doctor know. Don't just start doing exercises, even if you find some good ones online, visit your doctor

@ropke200 you need to get surgery to get it done, im getting it done here in a few weeks.

@ropke200 no,but if you feel just mild disconfort don´t go for a surgery.strenghtening the anterior delt muscle helps to stabilize a little
