One thing to help with circulation is to prop the arm on a pillow while sleeping. Put part of the pillow in between the chest and arm on the injured side. It will allow.for better circulation, although you may have to learn to sleep on your back of you're accustomed to sleeping on your side.
Also, try not to "cradle" the arm/keep the shoulder tucked in tight when on your feet. If nothing else hook your thumh in your pants pocket and let it support some of the load.
Stay away from dumbbells for a good while and when you do start back, stay with the Smith machine for awhile, IMHO.
