Lone Wolf Ok | I had fever total on left shoulder Jan 4, 2025. I stopped all pain meds when I left hospital day after surgery. They preached 6 wks of PT.
As I sat in easy chair with arm resting on armrest with sling on I thought about issues - dislocation - so I took sling off and waa careful. But I kept elbow/ wrist moving.
2 wk appointment, nurse asked how's PT? Shocked when I said what pt - here for Staples out. Surgeon looked @ me and said carry on. I asked when do I do PT - just wait.
4 wks back- all good, no PT, just keep doing what you're doing.
At 6 wks, I had strength back and 90% rotation.
I won't say this is for everyone, but other shoulder has torn rotator cuff, if/when it gets fixed, I'll attempt same recovery. | |
