July 6-Had surgery for calcific tendonitis in rotator cuff.. Had hardly any range of motion in arm with extreme pain before surgery. Surgeon went in and removed calcium deposits which were extensive and also shaved away some bone.
Just finished week 4 of PT and I can lift arm half way up my body but Surgeon concerned I will get Stiff shoulder so told to increase exercises at home. Hubby went and got a "pulley" from home depot. Told to do this 2 - 3x a day to help increase range of motion.
I thought I was doing well..can see the small strides like doing my own hair, getting dressed etc. I see surgeon end of month and hope I can raise my arm all the way up to my head.
Question: I know everyone is different but approximately how many weeks after rotator cuff surgery were you able to fully lift your arm up to your head?
