I was told a heating pad but I found that an electric blanket is working better because it is larger and I can cover the shoulder area much better. It is helping me tremendously. Don't forget to walk as much as you can too. It will get better. My surgery was just yesterday but this is what is working for me so far.

Walk. Walk. Walk. I can't even tell you how many laps I did around my house those 1st few days.

The air bubbles were the worst for me. They hurt far worse than any of the incisions.

Just keep walking and telling yourself it will all be worth it!

Good luck!
