Starting over

[rcaudle08]

Hey ya'll, it's been a few years since I've visited here. I just had shoulder surgery and want to recover a little faster. What programs would you recommend for someone with limited mobility. Of course, I'll be working with my doctor and physical therapist as well.

Hey !you should choose program with difficulty level, there is a recovery program https://darebee.com/programs/recovery-program.html and several light programs. And you are right to involve medical team. Take care and recover well

Thank you so much. Surgery was Monday, so I'm not doing much of anything yet. Still hurts sitting still most of the time.

I don't know what shoulder surgery you had. But after mine i had to keep the affected arm in the slope for 6 weeks and only very slowly start doing exercises the physical therapist showed and acknowledged. Long story short: be very careful with exercising too early and get approval from you doctors or physical therapist first. You can easily f*ck up the whole surgery effort by being too ambitious

Bicep tendonesis (sp) to correct a slap tear. And excision of about 8mm of my collarbone. In a sling for about 2 weeks then "coffee cup weight bearing" for the next 4 weeks. Physical therapy starts at the 2 week point.

6 weeks out. Officially cleared to lift 10 lbs. Was able to do incline pushups at physical therapy yesterday. I feel both happy with the progress I'm making and a little frustrated at how slow it is.

It is never fast enough, but progress is good, take care

Update, adding weight slowly. I've done a couple of darebee workouts of the day. I feel good most of the time. Goal is to run a Spartan sprint in February. (PT approved)

Long time no update. I'm down 20 pounds from surgery, I'm cleared by ortho, and continuing to work in physical therapy. I've paid for my ticket to the spartan on Feb 28th in Jacksonville. Overall things are going great for me. Though I'm looking at moving soon, which is less than desirable. Appreciate all of the support thus far.
