1 week after adhesive capsular release and mua!
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi I am 1 week past capsular release and mua surgery! My dr said he got full rom when I was under and told my husband after surgery it was basically my job to keep it! So I have been working so hard I went to pt 2 hours after getting released! I do pt everyday and work out 6 times a day on my own doing stretches! I do not have full rom my external is still poor and can get my hand almost all the way up while lying down but not quiet to the floor? Does this seem right and something that just takes time! Or should I be worried?

Hi Alison
I too had capsular release & MUA, about 10 weeks ago now. I just let it recover for the first week, with just gentle home exercises. After that I started regular PT sessions (once a week), and was recommended to do some more aggresive home exercises 6 times a day, although I rarely managed more than 4 or 5. However, my PT seems pleased with my progress; ROM has definately improved (although lifting my hand up my back is taill impossible) and pain is a lot less. At last I can sleep through the night without pain killers. I was told that it would take at least 6 months after the operation for anything like full ROM to return. At the present rate of progress, I feel it could take a bit longer than this, but I am sure the exercises are helping a lot and are worth sticking with.
