Left shoulder

Gone through arthroscopy of my left shoulder about 1 and half year ago. Want to go to gym now. It is preferable to workout there or not? If not then when can I go for workout?

Hiya... This is what I'd recommend: 1. Get shoulders joint / girdle / rotator cuff examined for stiffness, rigidity, pain and mobility. Learn yourself as well. 2. Use a resistance band or tube for improving mobility 3. Focus on isometric contractions, in all planes possible If in doubt, employee the services of a physiotherapist but I'd suggest you learn the moves yourself and design a program. If mobility is fine and only muscle weakness present, you should be good to go as far as gym id concerned. But, again... someone's who's examined you directly will be better judge.
Next Steps
Get shoulder joint / girdle examined for mobility in all planes
