Shoulder Surgery 14 (Follow-Up)
Feb. 4th, 2022 10:46 amYesterday was both physical therapy and the doctor.
At PT, they're "changing it up," which means "we're giving more exercises to do that hurt even more."
The doctor, meanwhile, was happy with the mobility I was regaining but was unhappy with the amount of ibuprofen I told him I was taking daily and with the fact that I still have to take Vicodin two days in three, so he gave me a scrip for a different pain med, which apparently takes some getting used to. I felt off-balance after I took it the first time yesterday, like I had stepped a few inches to the left without my body following me. This morning, though, I woke up and my arm wasn't hurting for the first time since the operation, though it hurt again the moment I moved it. Still, it's progress.
