    Thank you Layla - had the manipulation yesterday, sadly hasn’t worked - doctor said it’s inflamed nerves and could be 3 months like this - unable to use my arm for the smallest of things - I will just be praying day and night for God’s devine healing - thank you for your prayer Layla

    Thank you Both for your replies - my swelling is there all the time not just when I exercise it looks like a Christmas ham - I don’t think it has gone down since I had the surgery I just hoped at 3 months it would - the surgeon didn’t seem concerned - I am walking about 20-25 mins a day with the...

    Hi Layla, Thank you for asking - well it’s five and a half weeks since my surgery it certainly has been a ride, I think everything went really well and is continuing that way I think I have just been surprised that it is still so painful even this many weeks out. Sleep has been an issue I feel...
