-
I just came on to post my progress! There's going to be no operation as basically, my consultant sees it as a cosmetic procedure and isn't a fan of unnecessary surgery. (I'm not bothered about the bump either to be honest - my concern was functionality.)
The pain lasted about 36 hours and was probably due to being in the sling for so long as once it subsided, it hasn't come back. There's still pain if I overdo it - lifting too much, sudden movements etc but it's perfectly manageable.
So, I started physio three weeks ago and I've been doing my exercises diligently. I went back yesterday ans my physio was so happy with my progress that I don't need to go back. I have some new exercises to do but she trusts me to do them.
I have full movement and almost full strength back - the only issue like I say, is the pain if I do too much with it.
I've been riding - mainly short journeys and running errands but I'm up to a comfortable 35 miles without there being any pain. Sprinting and climbing out the saddle can be painful but otherwise it's all good.

Any update with this? RE: Pain - how is it now? Are you getting an op?
I got on the bike after 19 weeks off after my Lockdown operation, and did 70 miles. Shoulder was fine. Glad I left it a long time and did physio every day. Feels strong now. Get an op if you can and it's sticking out lots.
