Johan T Lindwall writes in Expressen that queen Silvia risks permanent damage after the ski accident. That the injured shoulder to heal and rehabilitate so good as possible, the queen now spends at least a couple of hours per week in physiotherapy.
But despite the physiotherapy, the damage can be permanent. According to Expressen's sources the doctors have told the queen that she risks that she will ever be able to raise her right arm over her shoulder. This is due to the rigidity that may be right after the surgery that the Queen has undergone.
Margareta Thorgren from the press department wouldn't comment Expressen's reports that the queen is likely to have a limited range of motion for the rest of her life:
- We've talked about the accident and told that the Queen had a fractured right shoulder and received hospital treatment. We do not comment the damage in detail.
The Queen will get physiotherapy now the next six months?
- Like I said, we don't comment anything in more detail.
Thorgren points out:
- The queen is doing well and is on the mend. Everything is going in the right direction.
The Queen's brother Ralf de Toledo Sommerlath says to Expressen's Max Sohl Stjernberg:
- She seems to be doing okay and is back in Sweden, he says, noting that Silvia had surgery.
