hi
hope this msg finds u in good health
Average healing time after proximal humerus fracture after immobilisation is 3 to 4 weeks
if done with good amount of physiotherapy n exercises
U seem to have done exercises well except back rotation. .
Give more stress on that specific movement n u will definitely be fine
take some analgesics n hot fomentation if required
thanks Take care god bless
