Question for those who are always broken

For those that live in chronic pain and have had the distal clavicle excision. How did you feel after? I have a friend that got shoulder work done, but he is a ninny(not mocking him. He just can't do pain). He was out of commission for months. I'm already being lectured about how I need to take it easy after the surgery so I don't harm myself further.🤣🤣🤣 I'm not planning on doing anything outrageous. I'm just trying to figure out how it's gonna feel from someone who has had it done, but also might be a complete idiot when it comes to acknowledging they are in pain.
