Starting week 6 tomorrow. One week two my ROM had exceeded what all my therapy friends typically seen by week 6. I repeatedly heard "your surgeon did a fantastic job". Really had zero discomfort and pain up to this last Friday.
A week ago I started Isometric Shoulder Rotation / Abduction. Went home a little fatigued, not bad at all.
This last Friday ........ Pulleys, wooden stick, basically assisting my self with range of motion, etc. I left and let me tell you I felt that one.
I may of mentioned earlier.....My wife is a Physical Therapist. (No she is not doing my therapy, her ex employees at the local hospital/clinic are. I know them all very well)
Only issue I had was in my wrist. Turns out it was Gout, got that shit in my left foot this last weekend. That shit hurts!!! Wanted to cut my damn foot off! (And my wrist on week two)
Some surgeons suggest ibuprofen and some do not. Mine strictly suggested NONE until my wrist issue a week after surgery. I phoned and was told to take 4 Ibuprofen and two Tylenol as needed.
I have been scared to death of re tearing my arm. Little snow and Ice and I get nervous as hell. So far no issues. I have found my pocket knife in my right rear pocket..........WTH? LOL.
Couple things......
-I don't like help from others.
-Oxy doesn't like me and I don't shit for a week after the few times of taking it.
-I need some serious trigger therapy. (Fired off a few rounds from my S&W 686 just to say I did........from my left hand lol)
-Be ambidextrous when it comes to wiping your ass. This one was tough for me......still not used to it.
-Get in better shape before any surgery. A year and a half ago I decided I was tired of being a fat boy......Lost 115lbs. Can't imagine going through this being a fat fuck.
-Gout sucks
-I've had worse hangovers than torn rotator cuff pain after surgery.
Good Luck Maggot!!!!
