It's hard to say Mahesh, everyone is different. Do you know what specifically the surgery was called as that might help someone elaborate? I had loss in the bicep and deltoid and limited hand function. The bicep tookabout 2 months to feel anything noticable and a good 6 months to be quite usable. My deltoid never recovered but they expected about 8 months if it was going to. And recovery still truly takes a while after all that, maybe a year or two. Bear in mind, these are only my results and you could be different.

You will be forced to learn more patience than you've probably ever known. Thats the tough part. But dont worry too much, you'll get better.
