• Photo ID and insurance details (if applicable).
• Previous X-rays, MRI, or CT reports — on disc or printed.
• List of current medications and allergies.
• Operation notes or physiotherapy letters from prior care.
• Short written summary: when pain started, what makes it worse or better.

Rehabilitation & exercises

Recovery is gradual. These milestones are typical — your plan may differ.

• Early phase: reduce swelling, protect the repair, gentle range of motion as allowed.
• Mid phase: strengthen supporting muscles with physiotherapy guidance.
• Late phase: return to sport or work only when cleared by your surgeon.

Shoulder & sports — quick guide

Common reasons patients book: rotator cuff pain, instability, frozen shoulder, or sports injury.

• Note whether pain is at rest, at night, or with overhead activity.
• Bring sport or work demands you need to return to.

Joint replacement — preparation

For shoulder, hip, or knee replacement planning.

• Dental check if advised — reduce infection risk before surgery.
• Arrange home help and clear trip hazards before surgery.
• Stop smoking if possible — it aids healing.
