Must-Have Supplies for Post-Shoulder Surgery Care
Shoulder surgery is difficult but the recovery doesn't have to suck! These are my favorite items from my first shoulder surgery, and a few I'm excited to try out over the summer when my next shoulder surgery. Prepare ahead and set yourself up for a q...
The last thing you want to do is get up and refill your water all the time. Grab one of these 40 oz Stanley's to have plenty of water!
Ice your best friend after surgery to keep the pain and swelling under control. This ice pack is specifically made to fit the shoulder, meaning more effective icing!
I loved my continuous ice machine after my first surgery. It's an investment but definitely worth it to not have to worry about melting ice. Highly recommend!
I love these pajamas but the button front is so helpful after should surgery! They're easy to put on and the patterns are so cute!
The button front is perfect for easy dressing. There is a shorts set or a capri set. Highly recommend both of them!
This is a funny item but also so helpful! Post-surgery, we need a lot of help. If you can't reach the phone, and don't want to yell, this bell is perfect for getting the attention of loved ones! haha
I hate when my hair is in my face and these satin scrunchies not only keep my hair out of my face, they also protect my hair!
These satin scrunchies are larger and work better for those with a lot of hair.
Reaching to put on shoes can be difficult with only one useful arm. A shoe horn is the perfect assistive device to help put difficult shoes on without help! I use mine all the time.
I love these pillows. They are perfect for sitting in bed comfortably while resting post surgery.
Putting on a bra after shoulder surgery is almost impossible. Front closure bras make it easier! I highly recommend!
I've heard so many people talk about these shirts to give the nurses and physical therapists access to the incision site.
If you have someone to help you, these headbands are perfect for keeping your hair back and out of your face.
I dreaded showering after my first shoulder surgery because it was hard not to use my hard when it wasn't in the sling. This mesh sling is perfect for showering while keeping the shoulder immobile.
If you don't get this sling at the hospital, buy it immediately! I loved mine after my surgery 10 years ago. My arm was supported and immobilized. I loved it!
I just found this pillow and ordered it. I'm so excited to hopefully sleep better leading up to and after my should surgery!
