Oh drove for the first time today...bada bing
 
This is very different than having what i call normal rotator cuff or labrum surgery.

Put both your hands up in front of you. Like your gonna smack hands with someone or play patty cake.

With your palms facing outward i can rotate the left hand/arm to the left side of my body.

Cant do that at all on the right side. I Can move my right hand/arm to the right about 3-4"from patty cake position un front of my body... 3-4" inches.... Wtf. There is no rotating to the side at all.. This is the first time trying these today.. This sucks and is very painful. Its like there is no longer a socket for the arm to rotate freely in. Like there is a block wall on the right side of my body against my upper arm, and shoulder.

I hope this new bicep tendon placement isnt the cause. If so, i hope this will not be a problem now. This is the Beginning of 5 weeks into therapy.

To be accurate today is the 13th therapy visit
