Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate the information because I know very litte about this entire journey. Just hearing about the deltoid muscle was new and helpful to me. I need to look up the operations that you had so I understand them. I think the first step for me should be to get to n orthopedic surgeon. I understand about the recliner. I really understand about the coffee cup. I have tried to use my left arm as much as I can and not the right arm. Thank you again for your reply. It sounds like all went well for you and that's a good thing!!!!!!

From what I understand you should see an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation. Then depending on many things, they may have you try physical therapy first. They would not give me a steroid injection in my shoulders because they said it would increase the chance of infection. I went to an orthopedic institute where they have doctors that do a lot of shoulders. My local guy does 20 reverse ones a year. The institute guy does 200.
It was understanding that it would not get better on its own, but that may be because of the degraded and torn tendons. Best of luck. My surgeon said I would just need to bring patience with me.
