Sorry to see you join our 'exclusive group' here, but Welcome to the blog! Hopefully we'll be able to help you with your ongoing recovery from your diagnosis & treatment xx. It can sometimes take time, even months, for the restricted movement to return to normal after surgery. Check with your Medical team up there - they should be able ot point you to some free/reduced cost physio/assistance in recovering from your surgery. Failing that, other members in the area may be able to point you towards assistance they've received in your area around Cairns (maybe edit/add that to the title - you have 24hrs to do this - otherwise a Moderator may be able to help you with this. xx
Gentle exercise (possibly even gentle swimming) may be able to help - but only do so under the guidance of a health professional xx. You can't rush this 'recovery' .... If you put 'arm movement' into the search area and click 'newest', you may find some links that will help .... but realise that everyone is different & heals at different rates. ...... make haste slowly xx
take care & all the best
