Jim-Ialso had shoulder surgery, but my doctor had me working out the next day he say he didn't want my shoulder getting stiff. He gave me some rubber bans to work witha green one blue one and red one , i stared out with the easier one the green then work my way up to the harder one which was the red . after 3 weaks my shoulder was realy feeling good so by the 4th weak i could go back to work on light duty.I still have a 30 percent imparment in my shoulder but there's no pain anymore thank god for that.
