Scar tissue isn't the only issue that can make shoulders troublesome. I have tendonitis in both rotator cuffs and the slightest inflammation causes impingement and will prevent you from getting much sleep until it subsides, especially if you are not a back sleeper. Its a dull constant ache that has nothing to clean out or repair, if you lift your arm too high the dull pain can be sharp.

I found two things greatly effected my tendonitis, pressure changes due to weather and flying because of the pressure changes involved there. In my 5 years of traveling back and forth to Africa, I generally ate 12-16 ibuprofen a day.

Oh, I know aches and pains. I had basically the same injury as Brees and the surgeon, team surgeon for Louisiana Tech at the time) said if I was younger and was dependent upon it for my living (he mentioned pitcher or QB) he would have done surgery. I also had basically the equivalent surgery done on my knee 25 years ago and have had no issues with it ever since. Everyone heals differently. It is very realistic that Brees has no lingering pain from the shoulder. Look how quickly he recovered from the thumb surgery. He clearly has the metabolism required for recovery.
