What kind of treatment do I need after 1 and a half months-shoulder surgery?

Question

I dislocated my shoulder before because of basketball. It was right shoulder, and yes I write with right hand.
I had surgery and use this kind of sling/shoulder supporter. It is killing me this few months but I hope I will get better soon.
So, its been 1 and a half months way of recovery (doc said 6 months then it will reheal totally), can I do some light exercises such as slowly raising my shoulder until chest level? cos it is kinda stiff right now.....and can I jog for few miles? I know my shoulder is not yet stable at this poin cos sometimes when I move my right arm little bit, even with sling, the shoulder creates a popping sound. The feel sometimes like sore for second but unhurt.Pls advice....Thanks!

Hmmm, your doctor should be sending you to Physcial Therapy after 6wks of being in the sling, because you most definitely need to exercise it now to get your range of motion back. If you don't do the correct exercises for your shoulder you run the risk of tearing it up again.
Do not try to exercise on your own, you could really hurt yourself.
