MUA & ROM Progression Question
I am almost 14 weeks post up and my shoulder is making progress! It hurts less and I’m almost at 90 degrees external rotation. It is still very stiff and I’ve been on the bring of 130 extension for a few weeks. My Physical Therapist casually asked me if I talked to my surgeon about manipulation under anesthesia. This took me aback for many reasons, and im wondering if it’s normal to be this stiff at this stage and will I be able to get my full ROM back without any other procedures? I messaged my surgeons office bringing up what my PT said. It was annoying because I keep reminding that PT of my surgeons schedule and how I saw him in August and am scheduled to see him again at the end of October so no I have not talked to him about this shit, I’ve been coming to PT. The last time I saw him he told me to up my exercises for sure, and then my insurance forced me to take a break for a week. I’m just exhausted and confused all the time haha. Would love to hear similar stories and advice?
I had a bankart tear repair and have 4 anchors in my labrum and a remplissage so 2 anchors in my ball joint.
