Hi Rachel - there were two things that lead to my late start with PT. One was that the PT I had wanted to use was sick the day of our appt and it was going to take months to get in for a consult with him (he is quite the guy - hard to get appts with) I made many many calls and most places went 'TO what?' - so those calls ended quickly. Also it was about 6 or 7 weeks post-op that I actually had my follow-up with the surgeon...

I basically have full range of motion now - some limited on the end range. Some days are better then others...everyone agreed (docs, PT, etc) that the last thing you want is a frozen shoulder. Movement was limited after surgery not to mention it hurt like heck, but I did my shower exercise and have really listened to my 'team' (I like to call them that...I see a PT, MT and Chiro weekly...adds up to a lot of appts!). Right now I find I am weak and likely will be refered to a (sports rehab type) clinic to gain some strength. If you want to PM me with any questions I'd be happy to share my experiences...
