I had my partial shoulder replacement during a heatwave. The sling was very hot and itchy, but at least I had been advised that I could take it off at night. I rested the arm on a pillow and even now find that comfortable. Like Nellie, I found the physio torturous but it worked. When I had an op on my thumb joint, I was in a large immobilising bandage for six weeks and the physio involved stretching and squeezing. I found 'popping' bubble wrap specially effective. They physios hadn't thought of that. But after 11 years I still can't snap my fingers.
