still feels like two different parts of one body. the woman i train at the dojo for conditioning said the day the sling came off, "oh you don't look any different". i said wtf you talking about? Got an NFL lineman arm on the right and an NFL cheerleader arm on the left. the traps look silly out of proportion right now.

Latest stretch added to rehab, was at a little more than 100 degrees on first day added last Tuesday , goal is 180 degrees, straight behind head. This was today. They also added in pulley exercise Thursday, pulling down with right arm/handle to extend left arm straight overhead while seated. Getting ROM back [emoji106]

Re: Rehab into spring cycle
still not in the gym the way i like to be in the gym, still just cardio and rehab on the delt but the ROM is going great. Gotta think at least a little of that is the TB-500. But I'm doing everything they ask in rehab and not even thinking about tossing a weight til they green light it. chomping at the bit tho
Re: Rehab into spring cycle
at least you are being smart and not going until they give you the go ahead. i know 3 morons personally that went back at it to soon and their repairs didnt take and had to be re done again. one of the morons actually got a horrific infection and almost died from it. then again he was stupid enough to be in the gym the day after having his tricep completely reatached

Amen, want to do it right and only once. was in the gym sunday morning doing some cardio, abs and then on the mat for my rehab exerises and that was it. FU with surgeon today to evaluate strength/limits on raising arm straight to front to gauge PT results and how far they can push ahead the next few weeks.
Re: Rehab into spring cycle
had 7 week surgeon FU yesterday, liked what he saw on the PT's notes about rehab. Levels reached in ROM, etc and 0 appts skipped or cancelled. Set for 6 more weeks of rehab with more stretching/flexibility and another 7 week FU where he will probably turn me loose in the gym to start more progressive strengthening. On the right track

Re: Rehab into spring cycle
only me.....wtf, repaired shoulder making great progress. i do rehab exercises last night at dojo before teaching, all good. go to bed, feeling good. wake up at 2AM with so much pain in my good shoulder i can't sleep. try to roll over on right side pain worse. i get up and go out to couch, pop up recliner part and sleep sitting up for 3 hours, sorta, every time i move the slightest i'm jolted awake. trying to tough it through work today and maybe go home and pop a soma to relax the muscles/ i seriously don't fucking need a torn tendon on the good side. wtf??? don't have a PT appointment til friday to see if maybe they can get the surgeon to take a look. be nice to still be holding out hope of a successful return to shape for summer and not surgery on the other side once the left side is all rehabbed. ughhhhhhh
Re: Rehab into spring cycle
so yesterday right shoulder (non surgical repair shoulder) felt better, still a little twinge but I'm thinking i slept with it under my pillow on my right side weds night and it got all kinds of strained. slept with the upright pillow Thursday night and yesterday at PT it felt significantly better than Thursday morning. Left shoulder therapy went great. two new exercises added yesterday to increase ROM and strengthen the repaired delt. So after the pendulum swings, outward stretch with the cane, inward stretch with the strap and pulleys, wall walking and good arm assisted lying stretch to head i got the standing side rotations with shoulder blade squeeze and standing arms raised as high as possible without pain. feels much looser and natural so in great hopes a few more strengthening exercises and then a release to start up with weights but that may still not be til after surgeon follow up again dec 21st.
