Shoulder surgery is hard enough. You shouldn't have to figure out every little thing on your own.
After six shoulder surgeries—including rotator cuff and labral repairs and a biceps tenodesis—I put together the practical tips, tricks, and lessons I wish I'd known sooner.
Inside this 19-page digital PDF:
Preparing for surgery and navigating surgery day
Questions to ask about the nerve block and pain management
Real-life tips for sleeping, showering, and getting dressed
Physical therapy considerations and the emotional side of recovery
Recovery essentials and mistakes I learned from
Printable preparation checklist, questions for your surgeon, medication and pain log, and quick reference
This isn't a step-by-step recovery schedule. It's a collection of experience-based advice and useful tools to help you feel more prepared.
Format: Instant digital PDF download. Read on your phone or print the pages you need. No physical item will be shipped.
Personal experience only, not medical advice. Follow your surgeon's and care team's instructions.
