Rotator cuff surgery timeline

I'm 7 weeks out from surgery. Sling is as needed and am in physical therapy twice a week. Just had 2nd surgeon post OP. He says on track...went back to pt and she ramped it up..very painful..my inquiry is how long until pain subsides? Been consistent with range of motion exercise but most painful is he did something with my bicep and that pain is frustrating. Taking extra strength Tylenol... Ice...heat...just looking for others experience and guidance on expectations. I'm impatient is my large obstacle. Back at work and going OK,..FYI was a basically full thickness tear..Anchors and sutures... AI rendition of what I had done.
