Ok, I'm starting to believe that my shoulder is actually improving. Lowest pain to date in the last couple of days, hovering around a 4/10 for the most part, with some moments where I get a sharp reminder, and some moments where I completely forget about it. Still doing the high dose tylenol and ibuprofen and ice. Drew said the goal this week is not to exceed a 6/10, but he expects it to fluctuate day to day for a while still.
I've gotten used to the dry needling, so even though there are some days which are particularly terrible, I'm not really surprised by it anymore. But the cupping? Jesus. Kirk did it once after the first surgery like 10 days out and reopened one of the portals, then we never did it again. Drew did it on my eval after the second surgery, but not near the scar, he was on mid/posterior delt only. Today he just got them out without saying anything and put them directly over the scar and this was so terrible in a completely different and weird way. I was sure that the scar was ripping open and that I was bleeding. I could tell that it was superficial, but it still stung like a bitch. A little warning would have been nice.
ROM is SO MUCH BETTER. Like, crazy better, at least with flexion. Internal/external rotation are still super limited. And happy to add in the tricep extensions, I miss my triceps.
Getting pretty comfortable using my arms on the bike. Shoulder still gets sore/tired, but it's encouraging to be able to hit this kind of pace. Success!
