Shoulder appears to have moved upwards

2020-10-19 02:47:55
Hi I had undergone bankart's repair surgery for shoulder dislocation a month back. I was on immobilizer for 6 weeks. I have started exercises recommended by my physio. But while performing them, I could see that my operated shoulder looks elevated by almost 2 inches. Also sensing stiffness in that shoulder. Is the elevation normal post surgery? Will this reduce with regular exercise?

You just have stiffness due to the immobilization. Are both the shoulders equal when your arms are hanging down? As your shoulder movement returns to normal, it will become alright.
Next Steps
Continue your physiotherapy.

I do not have any experience about the same. Check the posture of your spine from behind. If there is a tilt on left secondary to prolonged resting.
