My right shoulder was always noticably higher than my left. I had a rib removed on my right side and now a little over a year later, I am noticing that my right shoulder is lower than the left. I feel like I'm tilting again, just in the opposite direction of how I tilted prior to surgery.
After surgery, I was unable to use my right shoulder at all (could not lift it away from my body) so my surgeon had an occupational therapist come to my house twice a week for 6 weeks to work with me so that I could once again eat and brush my teeth and bathe using my right arm. I thought I was back to normal but now I'm feeling really concerned about this.
Has anyone else experienced this sort of tilting in the opposite direction? Should I try to go back for phyical therapy to get my shoulder back up where it belongs? I'm worried that if I let this go, it might get worse....
