@Anabolic Beast ok great, sounds like you are on the right track then.....basically just waiting LOL.
While i was in my sling, which was approx 9 weeks post op, i worked on legs in the gym about 2 sometimes 3 times a week. Would do one upper right body for maybe one day a week, sometimes 2. But mostly 1 day a week.
But i also had a cpm machine at home that i had to clock 4 hours a day in....ugh...but am so glad i did it. Really helped with range of motion.
When i first started PT, i would do my home exercises at the gym after doing some cardio.
But def wore my sling when walking around the gym, i was just terrified to accidently use it, like old habits and all that. I think i fully dropped the sling right around 9 weeks i think. Gosh seems so long ago now.
I was so happy just last week i loaded one 45 lb plate onto the seated hamstring curl machine....wooohooo.....but anything above the waste, my trainer lifts it for now.
For me, those pendulum movements with arm feel sooooo good. Can you do them right now? If not, maybe ask the doc. Also when my PT stretches me out....soooo goood. After my PT sessions when they first started, we would do ice and the electrode machine (name??), but these past few weeks, haven't been icing afterward.
I still do PT twice a week now and do the homework on my own at the gym. I had a complication with my elbow and now that we are working on strengthening the shoulder, my elbow been throwing me fits....so my PT has been working on that as well. We have done 2 needling sessions so far. I've also been shooting BPC 157 and TB500 in there a couple times a week as well. Such a difference. The elbow has some gnarly arthritis.....UGH.
Just last week the PT had me do dumbell presses while laying on the floor.....felt good, was hard but felt good LOL.
Stretching the shoulder and upper back/trap area is super important!
Um....let's see, what else you want to know? Let me think......
You're diligent in your routine, so you'll be better quickly.
