When to get a shoulder replacement?

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.

Hi DD,

Yup, the nagging arthritic pain is my main issue, as it affects my sleep. That will be my main motivator for surgery.
May I ask why you had a reverse instead of a regular? Did you have rotator cuff damage and limited range of motion?
