I Had a very good follow up with the shoulder doctor this past Sept 15th at the hospital She said she was expecting some push back with conflicting advice from different doctors on whether my surgery should go ahead or not but we said we were relieved it was cancelled. She explained there is always some risk with surgery and she didn't feel the benefits outweighed the risks. The shoulder is healing according to the X-rays. The Doctor started me on mild physio exercises with a physiotherapist that same day and would follow up in another 2 weeks when the physiotherapist would give me more exercises. Another technician ordered a bone density test at the hospital. They will call me and I will schedule a date for after I heal. The physiotherapist advised I sleep on an incline which I wasn't. It is a lot easier to get up and lie down!
My next follow up was Sep 29 where the X ray showed further healing. The doctor said I could start physiotherapy outside the hospital possibly once a week. The hospital physiotherapist gave me 5 new exercises to work on till we see them at the next followup in another month. She said I don't need my sling anymore.The doctor thinks I have another month before I am completely healed bone wise, but ongoing physiotherapy will help with stiffness and so on.

There is good news!
So glad your recovery is going well! I am still going to PT 3 times a week. I have made some progress, but still more to do.
Awesome to know things are going so well for you. Wishing you many sweet moments this autumn🍁
Ohh good news for sure.
I have a similar problem dating back to 2020. After an mri of my right shoulder, I was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff, osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendinitis and synovitis!!! I decided against surgery, PT, and cortisone shot. I dealt with the pain and it has slowly gotten better though still sore when I move it sometimes.
Such fantastic news, Christine. Keep healing!
That's wonderful news, I'm glad for you!
