I'm too lazy to look up the archive on this one. Sorry. I was wondering. How many of you people have had shoulder surgery? I mean. Most of us have swum (or is it swam) many miles. What do you contribute your pain too? I have not swum long distances for quite some time. Just wondering what I should watch out for as I begin to balance my stones.
Wow Morgan! I was still in a sling/shoulder imobilizer 3 weeks after my surgery. My Dr. didn't want me to MOVE AT ALL so the shoulder capsule would stay tight. I had 9 months of PT 2-3 times a week and couldn't lift my arm above my chest for about 3 months. I never will forget the first time I was able to move my arm in a freestyle motion on land! It was about 6 months after surgery and I was so happy I literally cried. Different people, different shoulder issues, different surgeries I guess. Count your lucky stars!
