I have my first device implant coming up in a week or so. I know that I'll have to avoid raising my left arm above shoulder height for a time afterwards. Any tips on how to avoid doing this at night? I often wake on my back with one or both hands or arms behind my head.
Someone recommended scar massage to help regain good movement in the left arm / shoulder. Any experiences of doing this? Past minor ops have resulted in keloid scars and I'm told it will likely happen again.
Any other tips on preparing for and recovering from this procedure?
Thank you!
