Post-Op Shoulder Journal (PDF)

Clarity during the first weeks of shoulder recovery — when details matter most

After shoulder surgery, it’s easy to lose track of small but important details — changes in pain, medication timing, therapy progress, and questions you meant to ask.

This simple post-op journal keeps everything in one place, so recovery feels more manageable and less mentally taxing.

Why this helps

Most recovery setbacks aren’t dramatic.
They come from missed details, uncertainty, and trying to remember too much at once.

This journal provides a clear, low-effort way to track what’s happening — without relying on memory or juggling apps.

What’s inside

• Daily pain and symptom tracking
• Medication and ice schedule
• Physical therapy and exercise logs
• Space for questions and notes before appointments
• Printable or digital PDF format

Who this is for

This journal is helpful if you:
• Are in the first 6–8 weeks after shoulder surgery
• Feel overwhelmed by recovery details
• Want to feel more prepared and confident during follow-ups

If you already have a system you use consistently, you may not need this.

If writing things down would reduce stress and second-guessing during recovery, this journal is available below.
