What I have is osteoarthritis, not rheumatoid arthritis, and recently had my right shoulder replaced at Campbell's Clinic in Germantown, Tennessee, as a result of damage to my right shoulder bones caused by osteoarthritis. The operation was 100% successful and I no longer have any pain in my right shoulder.😇
