I had left RTS done on February 26, 2025. I just started physical therapy. I use the ice machine constantly and I had no pain or no problems except a reaction from rhe tape that did the closure but I would do it all again and I’m going to have my right side done. I was nervous also when they explained what they were going to do but it turned out perfect just make sure you keep it iced And don’t do too much to start off with just the slight exercises they tell you to do and don’t overextend then when you’re ready for your PT, you’ll be fine. Good luck.
