South Central MN | I had this done in 2020 and used the sling with the pillow for four weeks and wasn't allowed to move it during this time. If I am remembering correctly, I started physical therapy at the four week mark and then also began home exercises. Recovery is slow, but it's very important to follow the guidelines given to you and not be Macho Man and think you can make the recovery fast. I purchased a wedge pillow because I really didn't want to sleep in a recliner. It worked really well. When the tears were diagnosed, the surgeon told me if I didn't have it done fairly soon, I would end up with a "dangling arm". I'm not sure what that is, but was certain I didn't want it. Then Covid hit and the surgeon had to push very hard to get the surgery on the allowed list.
