When I first started with the joint mobility exercises, over two years ago, my shoulders were super tight. Probably frozen, actually.

I couldn't lock my hands behind my head, touch my hands together behind my back, and couldn't come close to touching my elbows together in front of me. I can do all of that now but it's taken me this long. This is a slow process when you're as tight as I was, but it's fun to see positive progress.

My left side(nonsurgical arm) is still tighter than the right(scalenectomy side). It is also stronger and more muscular. I'm not sure if having the scalenes intact makes that side tighter or it's something that will eventually even out. My left hip is tighter too, so it's everything on that side. It will be interesting to see what happens in another year or so.
