Sorry that you are having so much trouble. Both my sons have had shoulder surgery and don’t have any problems. They both play golf. They didn’t have replacement. My doctor said it would take 8 months for recovery and I think he is right. I am 85 years old.

@koneil I had a reverse total shoulder replacement in february 2026 after a fall and resulting traumatic injury. Every surgery is different I know and circumstances can be different as well as healing times, as I have been told. I wore my stabilizer brace for 3 months. Did not begin stretching physical therapy until my second month after surgery. And then it was restricted by my orthopedic surgeon. He tells me that it will be a full year before I have most of the use of my shoulder back. Although I see almost daily improvements I still have some pain, but it is not intolerable... It's not fun by any means, but I do believe it will get better as the months move forward and I keep doing my physical therapy. Definitely, have your therapist check with your orthopedic surgeon, to make sure everything is going along smoothly in your case. Good luck and I hope you're pain and movement in your arm improves quickly.
