Initial Stages after a Total Shoulder Replacement: Protecting Your Shoulder and Retaining Movement

[@SloopyDog]

My physical therapist didn,t do anything like this, she only gave me some exercises to do and gave me another appointment for six weeks. I would have liked the help you gave your patient.

@r laze my arm still has pain but my range of motion is great this was my second surgery

[@LOUISVILLECARDINALS]

@r laze the first surgery was done December 1st 2014 the second was done December 1st 2021 and yes it will get better with time it took me about a year to recover from the first one

The patient obviously hasn’t had this procedure otherwise she would be yelling in agony.

[@robbayless9529]

So right, she didn’t have this surgery.

Can I ask if the lady on the bed has actually had a shoulder replacement?

[@jonathancrane2202]

The lack of scarring and excessive range of motion demonstrated would indicate to me that she has not.

[@stevenhusmann3816]

Maybe she had it years ago. I would expect those results after a year.

[@debbiewquick9224]

@@stevenhusmann3816 ; she could be another therapist demonstrating what the movements will look like.

Why does the patient have to wear a sling for 6 weeks after surgery? Geez. All muscles will atrophy in that time.
