Hi Grumpy,
The fisiotherapist gave me a yellow rubber band and she said that this is to exercise the rotator muscles of the shoulder. I have to use it sideways. It is quite easy for me.
My shoulder still going slow. Lifting the right arm is not too bad BUT moving it sideways is quite painful. I try to do my exercises everyday and see where we get.
If I did not tell you, my fracture happened snowboarding. The neck of the humerus (just in the base of the ball joint cracked). But saying that I feel that the worse are the muscles around the shoulder. It looks they do not heal and still pain there. I hope that time heal them.
I hope this helps. How is your progress? How did you break your bones?
