Hello @lafromli, I think I might be a little mad myself if the tech wasn't listening when I told him it hurt and I couldn't put my arm over my head like she wanted. Hoping others with experience will respond. I did find this article that sounds like it may be what you have experienced.

"Dislocation of the artificial joint is the most common complication after a reverse total shoulder replacement. The humerus or arm portion (the socket) can become dislodged or disconnected from the ball (the shoulder blade part)."

Have you contacted the surgeon or care team to follow up with them on your current symptoms?

Thanks so much for reaching out. I did speak to my Surgeon. It doesn't feel dislocated, but the incision site on my bicep bore the brunt of the compression and is very sore. I'm going to see him next week and will use ice and NSAIDS in the meantime.
I posted here because I have never been warned about this or even read about it. I can't be the only woman this has happened to!
