If one has shoulder replacement surgery the physical therapy usually starts the day after surgery. It is stated that after approximately four weeks one can use the arm for light activity and active use of the arm and shoulder can usually begin about eight weeks after surgery.

They will evaluate your overall health and any potential risks, particularly concerning anesthesia and recovery. It’s possible that the surgery could be postponed to ensure a safer procedure and better recovery. Always follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding timing and readiness for surgery.

Is having surgery on your gull-bladder an illness?

Surgery on the gallbladder is not an illness itself. The surgery is done on this organ BECAUSE of an illness. It may be done, most commonly, because the gallbladder has developed gall stones; but there are other reasons for this type of surgery. Today, this surgery can be done laparoscopically and as a result, the recovery is very short and usually uneventful. If it is done as an "open" procedure, hospitalization and recovery can be much longer.
