Can i still grow my chest from working out?

i somewhat had a tear on my chest/shoulder muscle under neath the armpit, some people cant work out anymore after something like that. I still can bench and do many things it just moves and feels off and weird, still want to work out and get stronger but i dont know if i should get surgery and then workout or keep on doing it? ill possibly be out for 4-5 months after surgery, will working out make things worse?
