@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!!

I would be considered petite and had a shoulder replacement in 2018. I also have a golf ball sized muscle which is painful when I need to use it. Kind of tenses up so I have to stop doing what I was doing. I had hoped there was a way to remedy this but the surgeon said there isn't. He is a very highly recommended surgeon for this type of surgery.

No I am not petite. I am average. I stay active but know my limits.
I feel the research in shoulder anatomy, especially in women, is lacking. Keep doing all you can. Use all the meds, do not suffer.
