Interesting, my doc had a different approach. I was in rehab the 1st day after surgery and only used a sling for 3 days and after that I never wore it again.

I did start physical therapy fast, within 3 days, not as fast as you though. I think many doctors nowadays realize getting into physical therapy sooner means quicker recovery and range of motion...Originally Posted by lovbyts
Although, I started physical soon I still used a sling for about 3 weeks...So the only time I was out of my sling was during physical therapy and after I left I would use my sling. It's just a precautionary, as the shoulder and the repair is very fragile at that point in time. Any fast or accidental movements, like the one I had can ruin a repair during the first stages of recovery.
