Proximal Humerus Fracture Weeks 6-7 | Light Isometric Shoulder Exercises | Phase V

[@karengann5899]

I’m a 74 year old woman. I had a right comminuted proximal humerus break in August 2023 and a left mildly comminuted humerus break in August 2024. I have been working with you since the break in 2023 and even though the doctor said I might never get back full motion, because the right break was also displaced 1cm, I was able to get 99% use . Thank you for your help with that. I am on week 6 with the left humerus break and working with you on KZbin. I feel like I am progressing well and hope to get full use of this arm in the end. Thank you for providing videos we can follow at our own pace throughout the healing process and for your inspiring talks throughout 💕

[@gailpallett2925]

Thank you for posting this, I am a 62 year old woman living alone (uk) and in a traffic accident came off my bike at full force on my arm and have a proximal humerus fracture non displaced. I am 4 weeks in and yesterday went to hospital for physio. The young lad got me doing stretches that were hurting, and I have been in chronic pain since 😢. This has depressed me so much, as I was just starting to get into a comfortable position in bed to get a few hours sleep. I feel like any progress I had made has been ruined.

[@darnitthelma4247]

That is amazing especially in your 70s🎉

[@darnitthelma4247]

@@gailpallett2925how are you doing? I’m at week 6 and X-ray tomorrow. I’m confident I’ll be out of sling. Not had physio. Dreading bedtime with no sling to stop me rolling onto my right which is where the break was/is & my dominant side 🫤

[@andmitch2226]

I'm so happy I found you. It's been an interesting journey, I fractured my Humerus whilst on holiday in Nepal and had an operation to insert a titanium plate. Never thought I would see the inside of a hospital in Kathmandu. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and the staff were amazing. As I was not in the system here in the UK it took quite a while for the health service to kick in. In the meantime I started doing your exercises and enjoying your videos. I love the support, and I love your little jokes, and yes we're all little elephants roaming through the jungle. I now have a physiotherapist and they're very happy for me to continue using your videos for my full recovery journey. Thank you

[@DonnaBartels-j4s]

Hi Adam My son introduced me to your videos for my broken humorous and arm. I started them shortly after my surgery. I can't thank you enough for the results after 6 weeks I am doing so much better. I even told my doctor and he wanted to know about you and said I was doing great. I am now at the 7th week session and driving my car again! Thanks again for your support and encouragement.

[@09olia]

Thank you again! I follow your videos starting late April. I had shoulder dislocation and displaced humerus fracture on March, 10. I've stared doing your phases 1 and 2 videos after 6 weeks of the strict immobilization. When I was finally released from the sling on May, 11, I started phase 4 video, my favorite one. I added phase 3 in the beginning of June. On June, 13, my physician have tested me, and he was very surprized to find that I performed 30-40% ahead of othe patients with similar traumas. I am progressing, and I am doing phase V now. I love the eccentric deltoid lift - it feels like the muscle is getting alive:) Thank you so much!

[@dradamfields]

Getting the victory!!! Thanks for the excellent feedback.

[@betty-annevanrees7322]

I am 3 months in but needing to back up in my expectations. I've switched from physio to my chiropractor who is proving to be super helpful and I'm at about this place in my exercise ability without it feeling like I'm tearing muscles. I'm really grateful for these videos to set me on a good exercise path. In my Canadian-ness, sometimes I'm rolling my eyes at your motivational talk. LOL It's does help keep it on the light side.

[@marcelapopa75]

Hi Dr Adam, I wished I had found your videos since week 1° ... phylos plate, many screws, conminute fracture- prox humerus. I'll be 7 weeks post surgery tomorrow ( fractured 2 weeks before surgery). I started with your videos last week and I am on this one now - I do it 3 times per day and also some other exercises between. You are hypnotic - making us believe we will get better - thank you so much for your work, the good energy you spread - I hope will go back to you full of blessings. To those passing through this injury, keep exercise, I started to see the light at the end of tunnel this week ... we can make it💪🏻

[@debbiemorris45]

Thank you so much. Going from a very active life style to this was a big transition. You are giving me faith and strength that I will return to my life. Thank you.

[@dradamfields]

You got this, Debbie. Walk through this feeling the feeling you are going to have when you are rocking that active lifestyle again and, yet, embrace the process. I'm glad to be on the journey with you.

You’re exceptional at supporting those of us w and aligned shoulder fracture! I’m a retired 30 year chiropractor and appreciate your commitment and dedication.

Hi Adam, cannot say enough thank you to you for providing these videos with such inspirational messages, you are a super human, and these videos means so much help and good energy to everyone going through this experience which is so painful and you provide a light to all of us, God BLESS

[@garychamberlain907]

Adam thank you so much for your videos. I'm a 60yo road cyclist who crashed - left side fractured shoulder, ride side "gamekeepers" thumb. Your videos are making a real difference and helping me keep motivated during rehab. I know they'll lead to a better recovery than just relying on my physio sessions.

[@dradamfields]

Glad to team up with you, Gary. I had a number of big crashes when racing mountain bikes and know what it's like to nurse back from a fracture. You got this!

Hello. I’m a fifty something bicyclist who is 6 weeks out from the same injuries as you only on the opposite sides. I am curious how you are doing now. And how long was it until you were able to bike or drive again. Thank you!

You are totally fantastic. Thank you so much for these fantastic videos. I'm 71 years old and fell of my racing bike Broke my shoulder socket 9 weeks ago. Had a couple of scans and that's it. You videos have transformed how I feel about myself and my chances of recovery. I've been doing that for a week and such an improvement. Thank you Sir..Love your style as well👍

[@dradamfields]

Keep rocking, rolling on your bike and inspiring those around you, David. Thanks for the encouragement

[@robindemers140]

Thank you for your encouragement and guidance. I can do things I thought were impossible and I now have complete hope of reclaiming all my range of motion at age 70. I have seen an ortho doctor and she recommended PT. I go to my first PT appointment next week, but I think one session will be enough since I have made such great progress at home with your videos.

[@RuthOttney]

Hello from Panamá! You have been the most amazing gift - thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and being inspiring and encouraging to me in my time of need! I had surgery 7 weeks ago and saw my surgeon last week and she was amazed with my progress. I’ve been with you since my first week and so needed to have your positive energy - especially back then. To one of the most important people in my life right now- YOU ROCK

[@ZoeFeek]

Hi Adam I broke my humerus in July. I had my first physio session last week & the physiotherapist was amazed at my progress and movement I have made due to doing your videos twice daily. I am 65. I now need to work on strengthening the arm and will be moving on to week 7 video. Thank you so much for these videos . I AM STRONG!!!

Hey mate. 6 weeks post surgery for comminuted proximal humerus fracture. I believe a large measure of my progress is due to you and this series. Truly grateful you have made this series. You've contributed greatly to my hope of recovery, physically and mentally. Cheers

[@knowyourlimitations.6402]

With confirmation from the hospital that the fracture is healed I am much more confident while doing your exercises. I am going abroad this week and thanks to these videos it will be a much more comfortable trip.

[@dradamfields]

You are well on your way and don't slow down until your injured arm is as strong as you intact arm. You got this!

[@colourinmyrainbow]

I cannot express adequately enough, how grateful I am for your videos...(70 yrs old). Thank the good Lord, I came across them two weeks after my accident... I suffered a dislocated arm and fractured humerus, walking a dog that ran after a cat! I fell flat on the road and I immediately knew that the arm had been dislocated. After X-rays, the fracture was discovered. I have been in a brace totally immobilised for too long. At the beginning of this week, the brace was discarded! Yay! and I was told to do physio. In the meantime I had already started with your videos... the hand and wrist exercises specifically, which gave me a good head start. Initially, even with the physio, I was full of fear and would habitually keep my arm flat against the front of my body. Difficult habit to break! I still do it. Your videos are so gentle, the pace just right and my flexibility is improving daily! SO grateful! 🙏 Just started phase 5.

[@loriwegenast8190]

You have been a God send to me!!! Thank you so much for your videos! I’m on week 6, and starting to improve!!! If I could I would give you the biggest one arm hug ever❤❤❤❤❤

Way to go, Lori. Big huge hug right back at you!

[@NanMichaud]

Hello! Thank you SO MUCH for these awesome exercises. I came upon them while researching online PT. I have a comminuted proximal humerus fracture that happened Feb. 6th while doing laps, ice skating indoors. No snow this year so no cross country skiing. I switched to lap skating and caught the toe picks on brand new blades on ice and had a mighty lurch onto outstretched arms and left shoulder. I started doing PT at the hospital but find your versions much more inspiring and fun. Thanks to you! Have never experienced this kind of pain or set back so you are so good to find. Good luck out there to all of us healing. Keep going. Motion is lotion as Dr. Adam Fields says! (Note to lap skaters. Get speed skates or hockey skates. Skip the figure skates!).

[@DonMichaelHiggins]

Jut found Adam fields today and he is excellent. I have a fractured Humerus and doing these exercises with him is really helpful. I am am active 83 year old and hope to stay that way, but I know I must follow good therapy. Thanks for finding you today, October 5, 2024. Mike Higgins

Hi Adam, I have been using your videos after a dislocation and fracture at the top of my humerus bone. They are an amazing tool in my recovery process! My injury occurred just before Christmas, and access to a Physio over the Christmas period was very limited (New Zealand goes into holiday mode 🌞🎄 🏖) Once I did get to see my physio he was very surprised how well I was doing! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, skills and time! You are awesome! 🏆🥇♥

Hi I am new at this exercise and tried to do it but it hurts too much so I’ll back off for awhile BUT I really appreciate your videos, because home OT only showed me swinging arm or moving across table or up wall… your exercises are truly more detailed and it’s like having a PT helping me during this trial! Oh I’m 72 woman, and fell 6 weeks ago with losing balance and did a body slam on left side on my carpet! Ended up with 3 fractures under shoulder AND with OA in knee with tares was actually why I fell! It’s tough getting older but I’m young at heart 💕 have a great day Gail.

[@marybinns-z2c]

Thanks so much for these videos-I found them by accident (no pun intended 😂). I’m in the UK. Every healthcare provider I’ve seen here has talked about the pain during recovery , the long rehab and being prepared to not regain enough movement to return to preaccident activities. Your positivity and side comments are so encouraging and your videos with their soundtrack are so much more inspiring than the exercise sheet I was given after my X-ray. I can’t thank you enough and already feel more optimistic about the next few months (week 6 post accident, day 2 using videos!)

[@dradamfields]

Such an uplifting comment for me to read. Please pass the link on to your healthcare providers so they can give more than that "piece of paper ; )" kzbin.info/aero/PLx10M_1d-mu2S7CK5H6ft2wi4-zPLdmcQ

Just wondering - in weeks 6-7 is it good to use a pulley thing you can hang from the door- I've seen it on a video by UK National Health System but they have no time line. I guess the key is it's OK as long as it doesn't hurt???

Hi thank you so much for your videos- they have been a godsend! I am in week 7 and the fracture is healing well. I can feel the difference your exercises are making and your positivity and empathy are so helpful. It is such a challenging injury... I live in the UK and there is so little patient care- you are pretty much abandoned in between x-ray appointments... I will be starting official physiotherapy next week. Regarding the massage gun, what speed would you be using? The one I bought has got 6 speeds. Thanks again for understanding and for making a real difference to patients ' life!

[@dradamfields]

Thanks so much! I like the faster speeds but applied lightly. That makes it so the gun is less likely to jump around on me but get a feel for what works for you. Start on the perimeter and slowly work toward the injured area as you can tolerate.

Hang in there and keep fighting! The videos will guide you and, hopefully, help you feel like you are not alone. And, by all means, get out and take a 20 min walk.

[@darnitthelma4247]

@Gently225 you are NOT alone! I am week 6 today & last week I went back on pain medication for 7 nights as the aching was too much. It was waking me, I’m still propped up so my neck also aches & is holding muscle tension causing morning headaches. I feel stronger more so during day. I have X-ray tomorrow regarding the healing. Am confident I am doing well due to these wonderful videos however this is along battle and you can do it!❤ Keep walking the fresh air & exercise is much needed for your mental health aswell as physical. 3-6 miles max is great. 10 is maybe asking too much of your body as if strapped up your body is out of line, if not strapped your arm swings more than you realise. How are you feeling this week???

[@Gently225]

@darnitthelma4247 I am feeling so much better, walking every day and have now got medical cannabis for the pain The cannabis therapy has helped me enormously I am practically pain free.My arm and shoulder is very stiff so I continue with physical therapy.I am drinking the cannabis tea before bed so I get an amazing sleep.I come of the cannabis therapy next week so we will see how my progress is going.I am going for an x-ray next week to see if I need surgery to mend the tendons.Fingers crossed I will be ok.I hope you get some relief soon We are living a nightmare 😱🤸

I am 80 years old and i am in week 7 of my fracture i am unable to get 2nd xray until week 10 The question is Do i need xray bcfore i do weeks7 8 9 10 ?

[@dradamfields]

If you've had a interim x-ray that showed some progress with new bone growth, proceed. I have a little trepidation with your age and not knowing if you have osteoporosis but, if you decide to go forward, do the exercises slowly and with caution. I can't give you a 100% either way without getting my hands on it. Non Unions can be common. Just go to a radiology clinic and pay out of pocket for a single x-ray. It'll be cheap and you'll get the peace. Don't wait the 10 weeks

[@daviharpine6624]

8:27 Dr fields I was mistaken about the time of my follow-up x-ray it's on day 52. 7 and half weeks not 10 weeks. I will get the x-ray on December 1 so I will wait until I get the x-ray before I continue the exercises Thank you so much for your exercises and the rapid response to my inquiry.

[@debbiecohen680]

I love your series. This is my week 6 just got out of the sling I even okayed this with the orthopedic surgeon 3 weeks ago showed her your videos. Here's my biggest problem my elbow is 15% locked and I can't get it unlocked 3 weeks ago they said let it hang for a couple times per day but they didn't give me any elbow exercises so I've made no progress with that 15% lock. I'm doing your videos the shoulder doesn't seem as bad as the elbow now i do tend to have a little bit different curved arms and maybe that's why the elbow is so painful but my question to you is do you have any videos specifically to unlock this elbow right now. My professional PT starts February 7th next week but I'm doing your stuff daily I love your whole demeanor I love your series thank you so much for doing these. Again my elbow seems worse than my shoulder right now I have a closed broken right humerus fracture which has not moved and healing. So if you have anything for the elbow please let me know I cannot get it unlocked

I have no doubt I'd be able to do these exercises, but I'm convinced that my shoulder is out of it's socket. It's very frustrating because I'm now seven weeks out from my ORIF surgery and have only met with my surgeon once post-op (last week). He said that the bone had resolved but it clearly hasn't. I really want to avoid another surgery. But I don't meet with my doctor again for another two months and worry that if I continue with it in this condition for that long it will cause serious damage. Would it be worth seeing a chiropractor?

I would get a current x-ray and see a sports focused chiropractor. Even better if they have ESWT.

[@dradamfields]

I'm so happy you are able to use it.

I understand the movement is medication concept. However my issue was caused by overuse and repetitive movements, sanding and painting. So I’ve been afraid to do to many repetitive movements. Can you shed some light on this contradiction. 🤔 Thank you! 😊

[@dradamfields]

Hi, Your movement was not balanced and like you said (very) repetitive. When the scapula (wing bone) elevates, and is there for hours/day, the mechanics of the entire shoulder girdle become destructive over time. Check out my shoulder stabilization videos (playlists). You will learn experientially how your mechanics can be restored. If you need to delve even further, let's do a telehealth call. fieldsfamilychiro.janeapp.com/locations/telehealth/book#staff_member/1

Thank you sooo much for responding. I will check out your stabilization videos and see if they can help me restore 😃 my arm/shoulder, and let you know. I appreciate your help.

I had surgery on the first of June on my left humerus hand should i start your exercises

[@dradamfields]

Yes, please!

[@Thepeacefulwellness]

Hi doc Why do I feel like it’s still moving? Is that normal? It doesn’t hurt too much though

[@katherineharris2080]

Fractured humorous didn't tell me I needed surgery for 10 days had to have plate and screws surgeons notes said he had to remove callus formation so I had callus in 10 days but at 6 weeks with plate nothing I am so scared it's not healing it was a spiral displaced humerus fracture near elbow. 7 weeks out can't use walker or do pt why is this happening

[@dradamfields]

Hang in there, Katherine. Just do what your shoulder allows you to do. If you have to go back to a previous video, that is okay. Get another x-ray to make sure the bone is healing. This will give you some confidence to move forward.

[@katherineharris2080]

@@dradamfields it's not my shoulder which has had surgery before and sub scap had atrophied so it's not in optimal shape. Surgeon won't see me for 6 weeks I agree it should be x-rayed before that. 2 mo out from surgery still painful and no callus formation . How much can you not do

[@ddsasd629]

I broke my humerus and had surgery 7 weeks ago. but I can't do the move at 3:40. Is that a problem?

[@sheilalawrence54]

After a shoulder fracture, how many weeks should a person wait before they can drive again?

[@kellyw5304]

My doctor released me at week 4 said I can take sling off. But my car still in shop nothing drive. I’d ask your doctor for sure. Friday 15th I’ll be at week 6.

[@margaretmeaker2830]

6 weeks in my case

[@debbyferguson3595]

Why are those PRAYER LIFTS so difficult?😫

[@fausykamtaura4563]

Elbows lubricated in exercises is great point

[@dradamfields]

Keep up the good work, Fausy and try to enjoy the journey

[@leandriahill6406]

I can’t even do the first exercise because I have no strength it just goes right back to my side. 😭

[@dradamfields]

Don't fret! Go back to the previous video in the series and rock it

[@joanns4101]

Oh once again thank you for these videos nurses are the worst patients we beat out doctors lol

[@dradamfields]

Ahhhh...thank you Jo!

[@arizona516]

Thank you doctor 🌼

[@dradamfields]

Most welcome!

Thanks so much for these videos-I found them by accident (no pun intended 😂). I’m in the UK. Every healthcare provider I’ve seen here has talked about the pain during recovery , the long rehab and being prepared to not regain enough movement to return to preaccident activities. Your positivity and side comments are so encouraging and your videos with their soundtrack are so much more inspiring than the exercise sheet I was given after my X-ray. I can’t thank you enough and already feel more optimistic about the next few months (week 6 post accident, day 2 using videos!)
