Replacement on left shoulder was much easier for me. (still painful). 4 months after replacement had some repair on rotator cuff on opposite shoulder. It took me a lot longer to get past that surgery. A lot more painful rehab. Rehab on replacement shoulder was at home and went very well.

Thanks. Not the first time I've heard that recovery from a shoulder replacement is easier/quicker than recovery from rotator cuff repair.

Thanks for the info. I have a tear on my rotator cuff that needs to be fixed. I'm confused whether I want a repair, which sounds like less, or a replacement. You seem to think a replacement is better.
