I fell also breaking my arm and shoulder socket and damaging the rotator cuff. I also have severe osteo arthritis in all my joints. I had a reverse shoulder replacement June 7th. I am 78. After six weeks of home PT I continued on my own and have full range of motion and no pain now. My surgeon told me you can make progress with the shoulder from PT for a year! Best wishes for a full pain free shoulder.

That is great that you are pain free and have full range of motion!! I can’t wait till I am pain free with full range of motion. I still can’t fix the back of my hair or completely reach my underarm of the opposite shoulder/arm. I just feel like something is not right. I go to my doctor Oct 14 and he’s going to do another X-ray l. There’s no way I can do complete PT at home. Which I could because it gets expensive. The therapist moves my arm every which way. Ways that I cannot do at home.
God Bless,

I wish that were the case for me. Unfortunately I’ve read that those that start out with this horn blowing effect usually have a poor outcome on rotation.

I’m not giving up until a solution can be found. I’ve heard a tendon transfer can help.
