Clothing after shoulder operation

I don’t suppose you will be in hospital long and would be wearing one of their attractive wraparound outfits while you are there. Good luck 🤞

Thanks for the help. My main concern is whilst I am in hospital (hopefully only one night).

After my shoulder replacement I wore extra large t shirts in bed and out, no bra to start with. I agree about pulling jumpers over your head to get off.
I was supposed to have lots of physio but covid put paid to that. Do whatever exercises you are given
Good luck

It is difficult. I had a shoulder replacement and at first had to have help with dressing. I have several dresses with buttons down the front and I use crop tops for bras which I could step into and pull up. I was allowed to take the sling off to dress. I was in agony for a couple of weeks so I sympathise. I found it easier when getting undressed to pull a top over my head if that makes sense. Luckily for me it was summer so fewer clothes needed.

My mother-in-law lost the use of one arm after a stroke.
She slept with it propped on a pillow rather than in a sling at the advice of the consultant who wanted ig raised.

She wore fairly loose cardigans over t-shirts.
Now she has some movement and more choice.

I hope it works out well for you.
🤞

I don’t have any personal experience to offer but the above information sheet may help you. I think I would go for a big loose T-shirt and elasticated trousers.

A big stretchy Tee shirt?
I had a shoulder operation a few years ago but don’t remember having a problem with clothing….
Good luck anyway, and keep up the exercises, I was told my shoulder would freeze if I didn’t. So I did.
