Eight,

After 9 months of religious PT, I have made some muscle mass improvements in my arm/shoulder, but no where near pre-op. I can lift my arm extended forward in the up/down position slowly with limited repetitions before I have to stop due to pain. Side (lateral) movement is about 35-40 degrees but with a good deal of pain. The shoulder deltoids are severely degraded. As far as backwards movement, I can get into my back pocket with some effort but that's the extent of movement in that direction. Constant burning, stabbing pains, under skin itching & spasms are common place still, along with numbness & oversensitivity on the top half of my hand/arm/shoulder. 1st 3 1/2 finger tips are still numb making using a remote control interesting. I'm so glad you had recovery, are you 100% or do you have any lingering issues? I have 3 malpractice attorneys currently reviewing my case.
