DON'T SHAKE HANDS

Today I am 8 weeks post op, exactly.

On Tuesday I attended my son's school for parent teacher conferences and shook the teachers' hands when I met them.  One of the teachers was a pretty big guy with a big handshake.  I immediately felt the sharp pain in my shoulder when he shook my hand.  Ouch.

Since then I have had alot more pain and reduced ROM.  I have an ache in my shoulder and arm all the time now.  Hopefully it calms down soon.

Even if your PT tells you to shake hands and use your arm/hand more, be careful.

Lesson learned.
