Dont worry mate, I felt the same. About 2 weeks and you will be getting full movement back. Just let them heal and dont stretch the scar too much at the moment :)

Hello assy

I was sore from stretching the arms up for about 4/5 weeks.  All perfectly normal.

Bloody hell 4/5 weeks! I was hoping to get back into the gym 3 weeks post-op. Maybe just have to do ALOT of walking instead  :-[

Got my consultation at the end of the month.

Hello limaecho

I was power walking for the first week.  Walking and stretching the second.  VERY light weights in week 3.  Moderate weight in week 4.  90% of weights in week 5 and in full swing by week 6.
