Hi and Welcome!
This surgery causes a lot of trauma to our body, which causes a lot of pain, which is unavoidable. What you want to be careful of, in recovery, is not doing anything to cause more pain. Be very careful with your activities and any exercises that you are doing, as these can increase your pain level. As the beginning of our recovery guidelines says, “if it hurts, don’t do it.” In these early weeks you just need gentle movements and lots of rest, with ice and elevation, so your body can heal all the trauma that has been done to it.
Regaining our ROM is more about Time than repetitions of a list of exercises.
Time to recover.
Time for pain and swelling to settle.
Time to heal.
Our range of motion is right there all
along just waiting for that to happen so it can show itself.
In the general run of things, it doesn't need to be fought for, worked hard for or worried about. It will happen. Normal activity is the key to success.
