Any shoulder surgery, especially for women, needs to be assessed by the best surgeon you can find. I regret not doing this. My surgery went very bad. Awful pain and swelling. They call it Complex Regional Pain Syndrome(CRPS) Took 3- 5 months to get back the full use of my hand and arm. Also many hour of of PT and OT. Just be a smart consumer and if you have to have surgery, get a second opinion!😚

@desi27 May I ask if you are petite?? I have had well over a year of therapy, acupuncture, cortisone and nerve blocks. I “tweak” the arm constantly by making motions out of habit. I get it was a reverse shoulder replacement but it’s greatly caused me so much pain! The surgeon is not even sure why but she says I have golf ball sized muscle, not softball size as I should, and that being petite may factor in. ( hardware is visible underneath skin). Please anyone out there let me know! I’ve found only 1 other gal who has had a similar experience. Thanks!!
