Just buy one on Amazon the shoulder pad will fit as it has Velcro and wraps all around your torso.
make sure to get one that plugs in the wall and has a good size container for ice and water
Do not get gravity assisted but one that circulates by plugging in the wall
It was my ultimate pain relief narcotics didn’t help at all just took one at night to help sleep for about 5 days then quit as they really did not help me
You will be in a sling too which also takes up space they are not that expensive you can get them for the high end about $230 or so.

Thank you for your response! Would you suggest also buying an ice pack that you keep in freezer to apply to shoulder when not using ice machine? These fit snug around the shoulder and look like that wrap around also, just to have on hand.
