Mostly due to the inconvenience and annoyance of the bandage. It’s usually only on 3 days max, but for some reason I wasn’t scheduled to go back in till 5 1/2 days later. And, on top of that, the pharmacist took it upon herself to deny me one of the 3 meds my doctor prescribed. As a result, I got ZERO relief from the swelling and itching. Drove me nuts! Averaged about 2 hours sleep per night. But since then (3 days ago now sine bandage off) it’s been a 180 degree turn around in improvement. I feel very little pain unless of course I mistakenly move my arm/shoulder in a direction it’s not ready to go in. But pretty much off pain meds (which I use sparingly anyway) now; physical therapy twice a week; moving around like pre-surgery. Can use the right to grip and carry; just can’t “reach” for anything much just yet. Getting there though!Thank you so much again for remembering and following up. Did not expect that at all but certainly am grateful as it does the heart good. Good medicine, thanks!</blockquote>
