cutme

i made it through shoulder surgery

Recommended Posts

Each morning it typically painful for me(maybe a 1 or 2 out of 10), but it usually loosens up within an hour or so and the pain goes away.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.  Watch out for the physical therapists that are petite, have soft voices, and look like little angels.  I thought mine was going to rip my arm out of my socket.

But boy did it feel better the rest of the day, until it froze up again.  So don't do like I did and skip appointments, stick with your appointments no matter what, you'll be feeling great in no time at all.

Best wishes,

Grace

I had "frozen shoulder" pretty bad... and that's still kinda an issue when stretching at the 90 degree points.

I never heard of it until I couldn't move my arm.

She was cute and sweet - then she wiped the smile off my face.

It is basically a cooler with a pump on it and it pumps the ice water thru a pad on your shoulder - you use it for the first 3 days and it really cut down the need for the pain meds- oh you still need them but not as much! You could really tell when it was time for more ice it would hurt much worse  Maybe try ice in a bag wrapped in a towel

We must go to the same doctor :( although I found rum to be a bit more effective than the beer.
