Exercising that muscle can help it to grow stronger. Weight training is particularly good for this, but start with something small, even if it’s just doing bicep curls whilst holding a bottle of water.

Yes I have too. It’s a difficult process unfortunately and we all have to go through it. I hope you get there soon ?

It is so hard to learn to accept your boundaries. I have had the most problems with this more than anything else.

You’re fighting spirit and determination are commendable Graham. I improved my muscles with exercise to begin with but I clearly have a lot further to go.

When the plasters were off I tackled the gym as the threat of not having movement in my hands and told to build the muscles up prior to shoulder replacement. I had severe weakness and still have problems with my legs but I believe the gym helped not only my body but my brain to recover. Can’t recommend exercise enough. I also walked a lot.
