A short conversational excerpt from the YouTube video "Living Well After Shoulder Pain" (Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter, Sept 24, 2024) in which a patient reports being ~80% recovered around six weeks after injury/operation when they removed the sling and describes needing to rebuild strength. Dr. Schacter emphasizes cautious progression after sling removal—even when biologic treatments are used—so as not to damage healing tissues while feeling improved.

Questions this video answers

As early as six weeks, when they took the sling off.

I was already probably 80% better. I would say as early as the six weeks when I took the sling off. I was already probably 80% better at that point because now I needed to work on the strength and gain the strength back.
And we do slow them down a little bit when we take the sling off. Even though we augment it with our biologics, we want to go slow. We don't want to damage anything while we're feeling really good.
