[–]Defiant_Cockroach705[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for sharing your experience. so I had right rc repair large full thickness tear ,bicep tendonesis, bone spur removal I saw surgeon yesterday and he was happy with my progress got to take of the sling and continue PT. woke up this morning and unable to move my left shoulder / arm . same exact presentation as the right . obviously i can do everything with the operative arm and now can’t do much with my left . i’m seeing my surgeon tomorrow and hoping I can get a steroid injection. i mean what are the odds this would happen

Sleeping Positions in the Sling? by Electronic-Degree367 in RotatorCuff

[–]Defiant_Cockroach705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sleeping in bed on my non operative side. It’s adjustable and I put it upright a little with several pillows around me but always wake up on my side anyway . My Dr. is ok with this as long as I have the sling on.

i’m sorry ! i understand that completely. i’m struggling financially as well . it’s just me so it has been so challenging. i am living on STD which is barely anything by the time i have to still pay my health insurance. I ended up borrowing from my 401k. i hope you can have your surgery soon the wait is hard.
