I’m so sorry you are having so much difficulty with your recovery. Has your surgeon taken an mri of your replacement to make sure everything is in place and healing correctly? I would insist on that if it were me. I also had a reverse shoulder replacement last year and had less pain than the previous rotary cuff surgery with complete healing and no pain within 6 months. Are you icing and heating your shoulder often? I found that this reduced my pain while I was recovering. I wish you much more comfort and healing.
