I have 11 pillows in my bed. I built a recliner out of pillows. 😊 I'm a month out of surgery now, I'm still not sleeping very well, I seem to fall asleep just as the birds are waking up. Ice, pillows and painkillers will be your best friends.

Have you actually tried to lie flat with this sling after shoulder surgery. Absolutely impossible. I suggest you try it yourself overnight with a healthy shoulder and reconsider your recommendations.

i’m near the end of day 2 with a broken humerus and sleeping has been so tricky. thank you!

Obviously, the presenter has not been thru this experience! These suggestions will not be "dramatic" in improving the experience.

I've not slept a wink because of this bluddy sling it's itchy, cutting into my neck, I can't sleep can't do 6 weeks if this!! And I'm only night 3 Nightmare, it's not pain from my shoulder surgery just itchy dressings it's pain from the sling

With my arm and a sling after shoulder surgery. I find as shoes. I lay down. I start to get acidic feeling in my stomach right? Where my arm is laying across. Unfortunately that last all night. Is there anything like done for this?

I've had both of my rotator cuffs repaired. I'm going on 5 weeks post surgery. Just like the other arm, there is NO WAY I could lay flat after surgery.

I can’t sleep using the sling. My whole arm goes numb after one hour. I’ve laid flat. I’ve tried the pillow. I don’t know what to do

I just had a reverse shoulder replacement and would like to ask if there is someway to put a pillow under the arm and back for sleeping without someone else to put it there

He should use a REAL post-recovery patient… someone who’s in pain. Get several different size pillows. I leaned back on a stack of bed pillows and adjusted medium and small pillows to get the Balance of not dragging down my shoulder and keeping my bent arm lifted just enough.

Sling make you itch, sweat, leave marks, and may leave blisters

I have a broken shoulder, and lying here unable to sleep in this brace. I put a pillow under the broken shoulder and sleep about 5 hours.

Thank you very very much

A pearl to use....IS A PILLOW!!!! This guys a genious

can I just say 'Hell no'..... if I had done either of these I would have been screaming in pain...ps I am currently in fourth week of broken shoulder...three breaks..

Thanks, this really helped me to sit confortably. :)

Wish I watched this one before hand, about 5 weeks out now. Second round different arm.

How are you to move the are like??? It's to hard to even life the arm up like that

Thank you for this info! I have surgery next week!!!

You can't do a lot of these pillow placements after a shoulder replacement if your surgeon does not want you moving that upper arm. Please show how to do this after replacement surgery.

0:28 what if the arm is distressed?!

Is wearing a sling able to help keep the forearm in a relaxed position ? I have an RSI injury to my right forearm. from use of a computer mouse and /or driving . I'm only asking as I want to know the best way to leave my forearm in a relaxed state when deliberately not using my right hand for anything. I want to recover from this asap.

If i sleep without a sling but with a same position?

I had rotator cuff surgery yesterday and they cut bicep tendon and reattached it to my humourous. I got home last night and while nerve block was still working I bent down to remove shoe and my arm slipped out if sling into a straightened position the hospital didn't put my thumb thru the loop to prevent this. Today my bicep is bruised and hurts as does my shoulder. Is bruising normal? Should I be worried?

i separated my ac joint today cause of a dirt bike crash

Well this would be the shits. I can't lay on my back after having my neck fused.

So I just got sent home from the hospital with a sling and painkillers, right now my collarbone is in 4 pieces and I’m awaiting surgery, what the fuck do I do

🌹0:22 #躺姿時，善用膨鬆的枕頭對折後，如影片擺放。 🌹1:07 #坐姿時，對折膨鬆的枕頭置肘和前臂下承托起患肢，也同時能減輕頸肩區的負擔。

I know it’s an investment but an adjustable bed makes all the difference. Changing inclines on both ends allows you to find the perfect wedge for your body to sit still in. Otherwise a recliner with pillows will do a lot. On my second surgery(open latarjet this time) HMU for questions!

That advice wasn’t worth a flip. 👎🏽
