I had open surgery on shoulder for capsule laxity of ligaments 3 weeks ago. im in sling for 6weeks. any suggestions/diet to help heal muscle tissue?

Best Person: to ask is your surgeon. It is always a good idea to eat plenty of protein to help heal and and otherwise healthy diet. I always suggest my patients follow directions exactly as to wearing slings, braces, immobilization especially with joints. Sometimes it may feel good enough to get out of the sling early but you mess it up and have to start all over again.
