Shoulder injections after shoulder replacement surgery.

I had a shoulder replacement in Feb 2012 which has been succcessful, but it has left me with muscles which do not seem to work in my shoulder and upper arm. I cannot lift my arm any higher than a few inches and Ortho Consultant hoping injection with help with further movement.

Anyone else come across this problem?
