in a few months i'll be getting my shoulder scoped.

what are people's experiences (first and 2nd hand) with regards to the rehab time associated with this type of procedure?

i got rotator cuff tear ~ 1.5cm in diameter with some bursitis.

I had my shoulder scoped in January. It is still not back to normal. Took about three months to get it in reasonable shape.

Yeah, you're almost certainly looking at 1-2 months of true rehab and another 3-6 months before you feel really normal. Shoulders are a huge pain the ass. Make sure you follow your ortho's instructions and go to your PT for every appointment.
