Shoulder Replacement surgery means replacing the damaged areas of the shoulder with artificial parts. This procedure can help in relieving pain and in improving shoulder mobility.
Shoulder replacement surgery is a major operation and hence the patient may experience pain during the recovery process. Oral medications and injections are given to the patient to help in reducing pain post surgery.
The rehabilitation starts right after the surgery so that the patient can recover early. According to the patient’s condition, the doctor may use a sling on the patient’s arm before being sent to their house for a complete recovery. For around a month post surgery, the arm will have less mobility. Avoid lifting heavy objects and also pushing and pulling something heavy.
The patient will have to rely on the sling worn on the arms for support for around 6-7 weeks. Pain medications will be prescribed by the doctor. Make sure the patient takes medicine on time to get pain relief.
What to Expect at Home
Self-care
Use a small pillow to rest your shoulder. This can prevent shoulder damage and relaxes the shoulder muscles and tendons. This can be followed for 6-8 weeks post surgery, during the recovery process. For around 4-6 weeks, the patient should do certain exercises such as:
- Slowly swinging your arms in circles
- Lift or move your shoulder with support or help from anyone
