History
Shoulder pain, cortizone injections worked briefly, course of physiotherapy which included tens, microwave and laser made it worse, so finally opted for surgery.
Had the surgery a week ago and went back to see surgeon today. He removed all the dressings, told me that the stitches would disolve and that as they had to cut through muscle to perform the surgery I was to continue with the sling for a further 2 weeks to take the weight of my arm from the shoulder. He asked when I wanted to start physio - being nearly 2 hours away from the clinic, I said today.
Physio consisted of being attached to a TENS machine for 30 minutes which left me in pain (I was fairly comfortable until then) and then some exercises which were excruciatingly painful.
My biggest concern is the TENS - am I the only person that ends up in more pain after using it?
The clinic gave me a regimen of exercises to do at home - is it too soon to start these if they hurt so much?

All advice gratefully received

Regards

Wendy
