The first month was the worst as they were 4 visits per wk. The therapist explores how much movement I have & when it hurts I tell them... cuz my guy says there should not be real real real pain. So if it really hurts bad he'll stop to work on the muscle or the joint that needs work to relax before he proceeds. Don't be afraid to yelp when it hurts cuz then they're supposed to massage or work whatever joint needs attention. & yes, the sessions can go longer sometimes. We have intern assts that take over excess exercises when the main therapist has to go to his next patient. The assts are very qualified & I see them longer than the main guys.

After 8 months of therapy I have strength now for pulling or pushing but still having problems lifting the arm higher than my shoulder & keeping it suspended there! The shoulder & pec muscles are too tight but at least the arm is not too hindered by the plate & pins. I may not ever get the same full operation/movement as the good arm but better than no arm at all!

Owl and BlackJack. We believe we have chosen one of the Owl trio to keep, just waiting to see who the others like best.
