3 weeks after surgery now, after the little setback last weekend, it feels like on on the track again. Been of the heavier painkillers since friday, can sleep all night without any problems, rehab training works fine, I do apply a cold bandage (got a lot of snow here, that helps) after the exercises to my shoulder to prevent swelling and that helps. Will meet my physician this week to check my progress and get some new exercises I hope.
Thanks for your support out there.

Great news. I shot a 50# Bear I bought off this site last week a few times Friday and it didn't bother me too much. So maybe things are coming around. I had to warm it up before I tried it but all in all it didn't hurt too bad. Just take your time and follow the Dr's advice and you will be back to your old self (without the shoulder pain) in no time.......Dusty

I have had 3 surgeries on my right shoulder, the last two of them the same thing you have had, a clavicle resection. I hope that yours gets better and stays better, but mine hasn't. Hopefully you don't have to go back to the same repetitive things that caused it like I have had too. 25yrs. in the Illinois oilfiels haven't been nice to me !! After my last surgery I stated shooting light poundage bows in about two months. I was a stubborn knucklehead about a month aftewards and went dove hunting ! Not a good idea, the 12 guage was a little too much too soon ! My Doctor told me to feel things out and do a little as things started feeling better. Prayers sent for a speedy recovery, James

That tight cropped shot makes it hard to know what I'm looking at, but I know you had your shoulder worked on. My scar was on top...and 3 pin holes where they did the preliminary arthroscopic stuff...then cut me open to do the rotator cuff repair!
The pics they took INSIDE my arm were amazing... I got a set of them they were just too cool! INSIDE my shoulder...totally flippin amazing!
Heal well...don't get too rambuncious! Those bands are a long way off from a bow! What color did they give you?
Stay smart and go slow but steady!

I'm on the yellow bands at the moment, and yes I will try to be smart and take i slow, I can feel that I've been doing my exercises, would I push it some or use more weight it would hurt, I'm right at the borderline now so I'll take it real slow and easy. The photo got on it's side, the scar is on top, so if you lean you head to the left side it would be right

Rehab has it's own time, it's boring! I'm a manager at a waterpark so I have the luxury of using a warm jaccuzi to do some of the exercises, nice when it's -30 below outside. One of the harder things is not to try to rush things! I want to try to draw my longbow, I want to try just one arrow, just to try.... Patients or lack of is my biggest enemie at the moment.
