It is hard to generalize, because everyone's surgical experiences, possible complications etc. vary, so will recovery times. I had a reverse TSR and was back to full use and full vertical reach by the 4 month evaluation. Getting rid of the constant nagging arthritic pain was wonderful and I would do it again.

That is exactly my reluctance to get shoulder replacement. The long recovery time. I'm looking into PRP and have conferred with the sports medicine doctor who does this procedure through my health plan, although it is private pay. He did caution that the pain during and after the procedure varies considerably from patients, but is often quite painful yet no NSAIDs etc. to be taken before and after. (1 week before and 2 weeks post) The results vary. I'm interested in responses from those who have tried it.
