Shoulder Replacement Surgery: Range of motion?

Extension request comes up next week and it will be done....I am making progress with the PT so likely recommendation to continue for a while. I am not feeling very optimistic about recovery even though my range of motion has gotten better. I hurt alot and it seems in different places from the last hurt.
Do you or others wear a sling? Something to hold your shoulder/arm still? Thank you in advance for information xo

Good evening @dedehans. I am sorry that you are feeling less optimistic about your recovery. You ask about a sling. Yes, I wore an immobilizer for about 6 weeks. Hope it helps. Are you still using ice and elevation?
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
How can you have more hope for your recovery?

Hi there @dedehans. Are you thinking of an immobilizer? . I used one for my reverse replacement and it did a great job…..even at nighttime. Just remember, you may not be able to drive with one on your arm. At least, in CA you cannot be behind the wheel of a vehicle with one.
What do you use for support while sleeping?
May you be safe and protected from inner and outer harm.
