I got a black ball. I never used it. Supposed to help keep your hands and arm strong while in the cast.
Sorry you were uncomfortable.
Interesting that you were given Tramadol. That's what I told him I would try since he was persistent on pain relief when I had said no. I had done ok on that years ago. He says ok, but I'm writing you a prescription for Nucenta too just in case you decide you need it. That's a pretty strong one! He said, your shoulder was pretty messed up, I had to do a lot in there. I also had a long bone spur. I tried a half of the Tramadol..once. The ice thing worked well. 
And, sleeping in a recliner instead of the bed in the beginning.When I finished therapy and the boss there told the others that I was done, they were all saying congratulations..and..did you see her X Ray's? She had a lot done.
Therapy Becky, you push as hard as they say..but no harder. They'll warn you about that. Time will pass and you'll be using that arm and shoulder again before you know it. It's been a good 10 years if not more since I've had mine done. The things they can do for us today!
