PT problem after reverse shoulder replacement

Hi! I had a TSR the end of February 25. I was doing well, strengthening and gaining range of motion.
Mid-April I had a traumatic fall off of a tilt trailer and broke the fall with my arm. Completely ruined my shoulder.
Had a reverse shoulder re-replacement in July. It has been a slow recovery - no PT because surgeon said the possibility of breaking my small bones was too high.
It’s coming along but NO range of motion behind. Will never put my right hand in my back pocket or hook my bra from behind.
But- I have forward use of new shoulder so I am grateful.

@sissyshoulder
I am so sorry to hear about your fall. No physical therapy.? What type of movement do you have in your arm/shoulder? So sorry to hear this.
