Left Arm Suffering
Well here I am 5 weeks after my 1st pm implanted and all is well....except my left arm/shoulder is feeling uncomfortable due to lack of proper use over this time! pm area now bruise-free and I can do lots more without trouble....anyone else out there had this and have you any advice?

take it steady

hi there just build up your strength steadily, dont try too much high stretching or lifting just yet; do lots of shoulder rolling backwards and forwards and low grade lifting; your strength will come back it will just take a bit of time.

Left Arm Pain

I am about 6 weeks after surgery. I still get pains from my shoulder, but it seems to be getting better over time. I also had a mild infection over a week ago but antibiotics cleared it up. Different people have different restrictions after surgery. I onlt had 1 lead implanted so mine was only 3 weeks, and I have been doing more with it since that time trying to get it back to normal. I did notice driving bothered it, but since I have been driving more it does not seem so bad. I think over time the uncomfortable part will go away. Good luck!
