Retha,
Sorry about your fall,same story here! I fell in Sept 23, fractured 3 places and torn cuff. Had total reverse replacement 3 weeks later. Did pt for 4 months, exercises at home for 3 months then on to new pt for 2 months while still exercising at home. I still cannot touch the back of my head mid point. Surgeon said deltoid did not “come back”. Had an emg 2 weeks ago and will find the results today. Surgeon said outcome for this surgery after fractures ,is not as good as replacement for arthritis. I am beyond disappointed and at 77, can’t believe this is the most movement I will be getting. I will let you know how the emg turns out and if there is more to be done.

I am sorry you are going through this. Hopefully the EMG will show what’s going on with you! Please let me know what your results are! I have never heard of an EMG. That’s something I can talk to my doctor about. I do know I have a lot of scar tissue. I am going for a massage tomorrow which is supposed to help with scar tissue.
God Bless and praying things get better for you!!
