  1. Post-Operative Shoulder Surgery Guidelines By - Dr. Sushal Shanthakumar - Orthopedic Surgeon

  2. Topics to discuss POST-OPERATIVE SHOULDER SURGERY GUIDELINES • Introduction • Checklist of all the must-have things you need to buy FOR POST-OPERATIVE SHOULDER SURGERY

  3. Post-operative shoulder cares are very critical. Most of the time I found patients become impatient due to delay in resuming their daily activity. The recovery time varies based on surgery type and injury but it’s also true that your wrong post-surgical care mistake might extend your recovery time.

  4. First, let’s have a checklist of all the must-have things you need to buy. Detachable shower head. You have to protect your incision from water for a certain period. A detachable showerhead is the easiest and safest way to do that.

  5. Pump soap In case one of your shoulder gone through surgery and use can use only one arm then pump soap is the best solution. However, if your both shoulders went through surgery, then you have no option to take the help of others for a certain time.

  6. Shower chair In case one of your shoulder gone through surgery and use can use only one arm then pump soap is the best solution. However, if your both shoulders went through surgery, then you have no option to take the help of others for a certain time.

  7. Waterproof bandages As I told earlier you have to keep your incision dry until the doctor provides further instruction. Waterproof bandages do the job very well.

  8. Ice Compression If you feel extensive inflammation or pain, place and hold an ice pack directly on your shoulder for 20 minutes. Repeat this process in a 2 to 3 hours interval for the first two weeks of post-surgery.

  9. Medication As per the instruction of your doctors, you can take local anesthetics, opioids, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to get relief from extensive pain and swelling.

  10. Clothing and outfits. I recommend wearing loose-fitting clothes. Always wear such clothes that do not require lifting your arms over the head. Zippered or button-down shirts are a better option than the pullover ones.

  11. Sleeping position I know it’s the biggest challenge every patient faces after the shoulder surgery. In the initial days, you have to sleep on the opposite site putting pillow support at your back. Latter days, you can lie flat but only after the pain and discomfort start to reduce.

  12. Be patient to resume your physical activity Most of the cases, I find people start heavy activities once their pain is gone. Never do such things. Although you don’t feel pain, still your injuries are not recovered completely. It’s always recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions for resuming your daily activities. It’s better to resume step-by-step.
