I would never want to go back to the constant awful pain I had. Things arent perfect postop for me, but way improved.
You will move on and heal and do well--lots of water, rest and daily ROm movements, go easy, stay positive, ask for help, youre going to do just fine
Gentle hugs~
Thanks Robin! Exactly what I needed to hear! I am three weeks post op and still have swelling of my upper arm and numbness down to my hand like I did before surgery. I don't go to my doctor for my first visit for another couple weeks so I am hoping I feel alot better by then!
