No, I don't think there is any laser surgery for that kind of injury. The rehab does take a while. Recovery after a shoulder surgery might take a long time. It actually depends, from person to person, as to how fast your body responds to the recovery exercises and techniques. I think it could be more than six weeks before you can do many simple activities. Recovery occurs in phases.
Phase 1
This is the initial phase, where the person usually wears a sling and allows the muscles to recover. This is also called the immobilization stage in which the person cannot perform any shoulder movements on his own. Rather, the movements are assisted by a physical therapist and all of them are done under his supervision. This phase can continue for 5-6 weeks.
Phase 2
After about 6 weeks, the person gains enough strength to lift the arm on his own and can also do some low intensity shoulder strengthening exercises.
Phase 3
On completing 3 months, many people are able to perform exercises, by lifting weights around 6-10 pounds.
Phase 4
It is after the completion of about 6-7 months, that almost 75-80% of strength is regained and the person can do his routine activities, without subjecting too much pressure on the shoulders.
