5 weeks post op
This is probably one of the most frustrating points since the operation.
My arm doesn’t feel pain as a default which is so insanely nice after over a year of that, but whilst I can do very light holding for a short period, I can’t make a lifting motion with any weight and tbh I’m still feeling useless because I’m trying to “test my limits” with really minor stuff but it’s just wiping my arm out for hours or all day and bringing that lovely ache back. I can move it fine do the PT etc, I just can’t fully straighten it or do anything of value.
Just need to come in here and complain every now and then because I feel like no one fully appreciates how shit this is from start to finish unless they’ve had it.
I knew this was going to be a long recovery but I was kinda hoping I would be feeling a bit more normal by this stage.
