Two-weeks post-op update. Got the cast off yesterday and its replaced with a limited ROM brace. I can take it off to shower, for therapy and to take a progress photo. The incisions are huge. Rotation is minimal in my forearm (supination / pronation). No flexing or loading my bicep for at least 3 more weeks. The physical therapists were shocked by how little inflammation and pain I had at my first session yesterday. The supplements, essential oils and cryotherapy seem to be doing their jobs. Im still hoping to do stem cell injections or PRP injections and plan to get an e-stim unit for my chest, shoulders and back. Rehab: - Physical therapy twice per week at Orthology (they are AWESOME). - Upper body right side weight training Monday / Thursday - Lower body weight training Tuesday / Friday - Isometrics for left shoulder Supplements: - Multi AM/PM Complex, Calcium/Magnesium, 10,000 IU vitamin D - 18 fish oil softgels per day, 2 Rebound, 10 Wobenzym on an empty stomach, 10 grams of glutamine Essential Oils: - Idaho Balsam Fir and Frankincense on my bottoms of my feet twice per day - Copaiba three times per day in a capsule - Deep Relief or Panaway (blend of oils) rubbed on arm 2-3 times per day Nutrition: Mix of proteins, but usually beef at least once per day, some carbs in first couple meals (~100 g total per day), veges.
