Gee Beth, I didn't take your post that way at all... re-read this thread twice to be sure!

I also had my surgeries with Dr Annest and was given PT the day after surgery and 1-2x daily while in the hospital. Upon discharge, I was given protocol for me and my PT guy at home to follow. The simplest of movements: nerve glides, wall crawls, doorway pec stretches and GOOD POSTURE!!

Let me tell you, the first 2 weeks of PT were difficult - but it was better to release any adhesions and endure that pain than it would have been to not move and lose ROM or mobility. ie: a little hurt early is better than a big hurt later.

Hope you're resting comfortably Trix!
