It hurts!!! A lot. For the first few weeks it really hurt badly. I have allergies and everytime I would sneeze it would wrack my entire body and cause a sharp shooting pain to run down my arm. There was a lot of "Achoo! Ouch!" to be heard in my apartment. That pretty much lasted until about post op day 26.
It was weird. I sneezed, was bracing myself for the coming pain and it didn't come. It was a pleasant surprise but not absolute. While it doesn't hurt just to sneeze or cough anymore, a particularly violent sneeze or coughing fit will still cause a bit of pain.
I happened to get some bread crumbs caught in my throat the other night and after all was said and done I needed to take an Aleve for the pain.
I forgot to mention it in my last post and thought it was important to mention.

I had a Bankart done and I sneeze A LOT! I have no idea why other than I must be allergic to work, it was quite painful for the first couple weeks trying to sneeze. If I held my shoulder when I felt it coming it did help a little. But, I can totally sympathize!
