Have been feeling a lot more energetic in the last few days which is encouraging. Biggest problem is stopping myself doing anything stupid with my arm. For example, today I filled the kettle up with water using my left hand then unthinkingly put it into my right hand to hold whilst turning off the tap. Result - sharp pain right up my arm. So, as advised by the consultant, am keeping the sling on as much as possible.
Exercise wise I have now added in wall walking (facing the wall and walking fingers up as far as possible with no pain), although I do gently support my elbow to avoid putting too much pressure through the tendons. I have also added in shoulder rolls, simply cos it feels really good! Pendulum swings not great first thing in the morning but improve during the day.
Took the plasters off today - two holes healed, two still bleeding. So vitamin E oil for the healed ones and more plasters for the bleeding ones. My bruise is now gently extending downwards too...
My neck has stopped hurting, possibly because of the shoulder rolls, but my mid back is still aching :-( so I am trying to keep my posture good.
Not needed any pain meds today :-)
