Day 106 Post-Surgery
I haven’t written a shoulder update in a while (in fact, I haven’t written much in a while).
Over the last week, my shoulder has begun hurting a more. I backed off of Physical Therapy and some of the other strengthening exercises I was doing. The AC joint itself is sore to the touch, in addition to the upper trapezius and other back muscles being locked up tight. The doctor had said that the surgery is designed to be overly tight at first, and is expected to loosen up. I’m starting to wonder if it has loosened up more than it was supposed to.
Of course, I haven’t really backed off of other things, such as tennis and sparring, and I’ve been doing some light falling in Hapkido. I haven’t specifically reinjured it in any way since Day 5, when I thought I may have tweaked it. But it still has some instability in some directions, which troubles me slightly. Fortunately, I don’t have to wonder much longer. I have my next appointment with my doctor tomorrow. Hopefully everything is fine, and I’m worrying about nothing of import.
