Well I am now 4 months post-op and things are looking good. I saw the consultant this week and he is very happy with my progress. He is now estimating that I should be back to normal by 6 months post-op, so not long to go!
I have full range of motion although my shoulder aches a little at each end of range. This doesn't worry me, nor the consultant - I can see that my shoulder is improving every day so a little ache is not a problem. In my exercises I push it to the limit every morning so it should continue to improve.
I am now running three times a week and going to Zumba classes twice a week. I average 10 miles walking each day. My daily movement work includes a lot of flexibility work alongside strengthening, under the guidance of a former dancer. He is also teaching me to move correctly all the time - not just during workouts - and I think that this is helping my overall improvement. I can feel that I stand and sit better, and my back ache is rapidly disappearing. I treat my injured shoulder the same as my non-injured one so that I will end up correctly balanced, which seems sensible to me!
So overall I am feeling very positive!
