Since the operation on my throat the motion of my right arm has become restricted. For example when I put on a coat or jacket I put my left arm in first which is not something I'd normally notice, except that now, when I put reach my right arm behind me to grab the coat it hurts like hell!
Similarly, stretching the arm to get to anything also hurts, holding the arm above my head hurts, so, basically, it hurts.
The other thing I realised today though, is that my writing has been affected. I don't write much with a pen, mostly my signature, and I had noticed recently that sometimes when writing my signature I found it much more difficult to control the pen. This has happened occasionally (usually when I'm hungover!) so I'd put this down to a normal state of affairs. However today I was taking notes in a meeting and I do have a problem. There's nothing major, simply a lack of complete pen control, I found writing certain letters difficult (my writing isn't great anyway).
Another side-effect to cope with.
The good news is that things got better with use so I don't think this is a long term issue
