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.

They have no idea. After replacement surgery, you're not supposed to move that upper arm in a lot of those positions. What a healthy person finds comfortable and what someone who is in pain finds "comfortable" are worlds apart. They need a machine that has the physician, nurse, or therapist feeling the same thing the patient feels.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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
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!
