I agree with LisaM, that it may very well be just weak muscles from lack of use for so long. But please don't push things too far - no pain, no gain DOESN"T work for TOSERS! Maybe start out walking the wall 3 times (high as you can, but don't push past discomfort to PAIN) in a.m., 3 times in p.m.
Also do plenty of nerve glides - ask your PT to show you. Your muscles may have been cut off from their power supply - the nerves - due to TOS - and the nerves will take a bit longer to wake up. About 6 wks out from surgery you will feel when the nerves start waking up - they will tingle, be angry, flare easily, etc. But that is all to the good - now you will have good power supply to those muscles. Baby steps...you didn't get here overnight, you can't undo it overnight. ![]() Best wishes, beth |
