I had an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery on my right shoulder couple days ago.
I am maintaining my arm in abduction sling and trying to minimize my shoulder movement. however, i do have some questions: The pain is awakening me at night during my sleep, so how much pain is normal? I sometimes experience involuntary muscle contraction so is it possible to hurt my repaired tendons/ligaments by those sudden movement? I am very worried about re-injuring my repaired shoulder during my sleep? Any solution for the itching part? and when is it safe to shower???

my main concern: i am moving very cautiously but i am in pain so i am woundering if i made a wrong move during my sleep that caused damage to the repaired ligaments?
