thanks for this! Can you tell why you needed shoulder surgery twice??? Thanks

Curious why you needed the surgery a 2nd time? 😮

Thx!

I have been through a fracture and 3 shoulder surgeries and have used extra large T-shirts -no need to install Velcro. pT can be done with a T-shirt on.

Aww you are so beautiful and so is your family!

Looks awesome! Now on my bucket list of date ideas for Melissa and I!

Thank you so much

How do you KNOW that your nerve is PINCHED?? Maybe it’s been STRETCHED or CUT!!!!!😡😡😡😡

Thanks so much,Darcia. I'm facing shoulder surgery 9/6..Just rying to get prepared...

Thank you. Getting ready for shoulder surgery. This was very helpful. Ad I too love the "I choose not to afford comment" Brilliant is correct! LOL

1 month post recovery, sleeping on the couch is more comfortable than the wedge pillow, or a recliner….

I mistook a torn tendon for a pinched nerve and spent a month trying to beat it out with a thumper massager, heat and ice before I gave up and went in only to discover there was no sudden injury..... it just wore out! It was Bday gift at 73...yikes! So thanks for ur great videos and seeing life without my dominate hand is sort of still doable. Hope u healed up well.

On day 3 of RC surgery. Thanks for the tips. Why did you have to have 2 surgeries?

Thank you I’m deciding right now to have surgery I’m dreading it Shoulder surgery

Appreciate the video vou shared, so helpful and very informative, hope you are recovering well

I'm at 6 weeks today. This journey has been a huge adjustment to be dependent. Healing process is not only physical but mentally as well. It's hard for me to "let my arm go" to have the therapist perform the stretches. It's not easy. But very helpful. Pain is tolerable. Yes yes yes.... everyone heals differently. I have the same pain as you do at 6 weeks. Thank you for sharing

❤️

Thank you

I'm day 1 post-op for right shoulder repair and i love my wedge pillow, I actually slept in my bed and not the recliner couch,

I found some rotator cuff surgery tops on Amazon. for less than 30.00..i specifically searched for rotator cuff surgery tops for less than 30.00.

I had the same issues and still have it for 4 months now hopping to find out why it still Hurts Because my physical therapy, is it easy at all

I'll be starting massage therapy today. Continually dealing with tightness, and I'm currently at 6 months. My surgeon doesn't seem to be worried l, but she was disappointed at my last follow-up.

Thank you - just learned I need to have surgery & your video is making me feel better about being able to look like myself while healing….

going through rotator cuff recovery. thanks for these tips. they helped me

I live by myself now ,last year had my right one done and also had to take care of my 93 yr old dad he died in Aug and had my left shoulder done in Dec going back to work June 12 cause March 20 I had to have it unfrozen and couldn't be put under cause had no driver and so 3 procedures and no help from no one and I didn't do all these things your telling about doing and I've made it , it is May 29 ,2024 and I still can't sleep thru night I use pillow yet ,best thing I say pull up stretchy pants ,forget seat belt ,my 1st surgery was in so much pain trying to do it cause had to drive next day after surgery so second surgery said forget it cause same thing had to drive next day Dr office and drove to and from manipulation and everyday to therapy which after manipulation you have to go everyday for 2 weeks ,best thing I found cause by myself is can opener you lay on top of can and push button ,I had to use my feet and hold everything and then use the good arm at time to try and unscrew everything ,shirts I had bigger size button ,in winter wore jacket with better arm in sleeve and other just draped over first surgery I got a winter poncho type but didn't like sp didn't use it after day 2 ,my hardest job was trying to do laundry

Excellent.thanks.having next month..I understand why i need the CT scan now.thanks

had rotator cuff surgery mar 12, 2023. my hand and fingers are swollen and my fingers are slightly numb...has this resolved in your case? thanks for any feedback!

I dont see your suggestion link for the wedge pillow. Can you provide me with thank. Loved your video

Do you feel any crepitus or gritty sounds if you hang your arm and move at the shoulder?

Good job thank you

Thank you for your video I’m in my second week and have started pt last Monday I have two questions At 6 weeks will I be able to wear regular pants that zip and button or will I still need to wear sweats? Also did the dr tell you how long you’ll have to wear your sling when you go out in public? I’d love to chat with you. Best of luck in your recovery

I just had shoulder surgery 3 days ago and I was already watching videos, buying what I needed and so forth. Great information!

So beautiful. And how wonderful that you are able to hike 14 miles to see it!!!

What happen with your hand

Thank you! I’m one week post surgery.

Thank you for all the smart tips. I will have the same surgery in Sept. I hope you feel better soon.

Also what are you doing to have another shoulder surgery??

you can use your arm. My surgeon said to use your arm but not your shoulder. from your elbow to your hand can be used just no lifting with your shoulder

Thanks for great tips! Having surgery in 2 weeks! Very nervous about how hard recovery sounds! It’s my dominant arm too. Supraspinatis full thickness tear

I must say your comments were as helpful as used CHARMIN. waste of good time

Thank you!!

Such a beautiful time of day and I love the scenery and of course the cat is very special 🤗

We appreciate you! The honesty and tips are priceless..ty so much😊😊😊😊

Thank you Darcy so much for your video. I’m having the exact same problem. I am four weeks post rotator cuff surgery. I’ve had problems with my hand and my fingers swelling. There is sharp pain radiating in my hand and forearm. My arm also gets cool since day one of my operation. I’m so glad I found someone that was able to share some thoughts on what could possibly be happening to me. My issue has not been addressed yet with the Dr. that did my surgery. I was told to keep squeezing the ball that came with the sling. Sending 🙏🏾 that you will feel better soon.

Is the pillow for lying on? On your back? Thank you.

I had rotary cuff surgery in the UK 3 weeks ago and now I get a sharp pain down my forearm and my hand swells up. Difficult to raise my fingers. My consultant says it’s nothing to do with the surgery. Can’t stop thinking he wants to be absolved from any responsibility.the pain drives me crazy. Sounds like a trapped nerve after watching your video.

How do you wipe after going to bathroom

I just made 2 shirts, and ordered the pillow. I am having my surgery tomorrow and I am really dreading it. But this has given me a little light. What do you put over that wedge pillow to sleep on it?

Darcia, you are sooo beautiful! You have the smile of an angel. 😊 So appreciate all your videos on dealing with shoulder surgery; they have definitely helped me through mine!

Thank you!
