How do u feel if ur surgeon gave you a simple cheap sling? They didnt fit it to me when I left the hospital. Its too big and they have no intentions on Getting me another sling.

This slings looks like it would work perfectly for me, due to the fact I have neck issues.
The one I’m wearing now is always pulling on my neck and also the thick Cushion makes it worse when in recliner.
( I’m one week post surgery)
Would this be called a “harness sling with pillow “?
Best of luck to all post RotoCuff Surgery!

Could you please send me the brand name of this particular sling, and perhaps an info. on where to buy it, I will really appreciate it. The one I received after today's surgery is fit around my neck and it is very painful.

Add the “Thumb” support to keep the arm horizontal.

that thick foam under the arm is horrible it digs into your ribs an belly!

It's fully supported... until my arm slides out of it. I gave up wearing it till the morons give me one that fits next week

What about wearing a sling after the initial rotator cuff tear? instead of just waiting until after surgery.?
.This is definitely biased for the orthopedic surgeons.
