sugg? recovery from rotator cuff surgery

[cocob1]

(forgive my one hand typing) open to ideas or cathe videos for some no impact/no right arm exercises to do. i'm in my second week of recovery from rotator cuff surgery. i'm using ice/compression and a motorized chair. i use the chair an hour at a time 3 to 4 hours a day and ice 1/2 hour 3 to 4 hours a day and i'm getting a back ache from lack of total body workn outs. i am walking 3 miles every other day but it's so boring. what have others done to get through this ???
i don't even start pt until july

talk to your doctor to find out what they suggest. After my repair I had pt for 8 weeks.

 

[cocob1]

did you do anything other than pt for those 8 weeks?

Didn't have RC surgery, but last summer surgery had me laid up for a while...started with walking and slowly worked back. However, I found that I could actually get a good workout by walking! Do you have either Cardio Coach or itrain? It gives you something to do while walking!
