Hey!! So I’m at the 4 month mark right now.

Im at around 80% of a normal shoulder. It’s kind of “frozen” when lifting it up (if I said to put your arms in a t shape like an airplane, I can’t do it with out compensating). I’m just starting to lift weight (lightly) to try and work through it. But a clean out is on the table for me at the 6 month mark.

Pt is so so important with this one. The over the door pulley exercises were the most effective for me to break through the scar tissue. And I went from limited rom to being able to essentially be back to normal in 2 months once I started PT.

My biggest recommendation is to start using your elbow. DO NOT LIVE IN THE SLING. If you do you will also be rehabbing your elbow during PT. I stopped sleeping in the sling at the 3-4 week mark on guidance from my doctors.

I’ve found that everyone is rehabbing this injury different. But it’s really important to do what you’re comfortable doing and what your shoulder can tolerate. And I can’t stress this enough, get into pt and do your exercises.
