@andrew_cotty: Weeks 0-10 post Op, The dark bit. First four weeks, sling on, arm dead. Just passive movement, physio moving it for me so it didn’t freeze. That’s it. No strength work, no goals, just keeping it moving without engaging muscle. Then sling came off week four. I thought that meant progress but unfortunately it didn’t. Muscles weren’t firing, couldn’t get movement back and nobody could tell me why. That’s the bit that got me, not the pain, the not knowing. I was properly stressed. Turned out there was fluid sitting on the joint, blocking everything. Went on steroids to shift it. And when it shifted around week ten it was overnight. Day and night difference. That’s when the real training finally started. Nobody talks about this part. The bit where you’re doing everything right and still going backwards. Just wanted to show it. Part 3 of 4. #Recovery #ShoulderSurgery #BigWaveSurfing #Rehab #Resilience
