Oh bloody hell phil, were you just too jealous of mine and Finn’s slings this was your best solution of getting one? But sorry to hear obviously. Hope you’ve got some button up shirts, also my top tip is a couple of times a day, do some very slow straightening of your arm (unless it causes significant pain) just so your ligament/tendon/whatever gets a little stretch every now and then. I had mine locked off at 90 degrees for 3.5 weeks until my surgery and its taken a while to feel comfortable extending it with the physio exercises they've given me.
I'm 8 days post surgery and feeling a lot better, my bones don't knock together as I walk now. Got my follow up appointment next thursday.
I was on co-dydramol which might have helped but I didn't really notice I don't think. Got one more re-up from a pharmacy of a weaker over the counter one and haven't had any since.
@3c70 so at two weeks are you still slinged up or have you got loads of mobility now? It's nice having someone a week in advance showing me what i've got to look forward to.
