Hi,

i am texting with non-dominant hand so need to keep brief.

11 days since arthroscopic shoulder surgery-summary _large bone spurs, full thickness rotator cuff repair, bicep tenodesis.

First 6 days pain wicked and took oxy and tylenol.

Stooped Oxy and now only tylenol at night.

started PT day 7 - baby steps-pendulums, and few other routine things. As PT progresses will rely on PT if need pain meds again.

Biggest complaint is nighttime- sleeping. Trying to sleep on recliner in sling. Stiffness and subsequent pain .

Any suggestions for sleep ?

thank you
