For those responding that have had favorable results from a Reverse Shoulder Replacement, are you restricted in the amount of weight you are able to lift? My husband had rotator cuff repair on a large & medium tear back in November which has not gone well. He went back to the surgeon after PT told him they didn't want him back until he saw the surgeon again. He ended up going in for an MRI w/contrast that showed two more smaller tears & osteoarthritis, but the doctor has pushed him to continue PT. The therapist has asked my husband twice now about getting a 2nd opinion. When we saw the surgeon, we questioned him about a reverse should replacement after doing some research and he said that may be an option, but my husband would never be able to lift anything heavier than 5 lbs for the rest of his life! At 66 years of age, that is not feasible for him. Has anyone experience permanent weight restriction or activities?

I have a 25 pound lifetime restriction.

My doctor indicated 30 lbs lifetime maximum. My friend who had one last December said his doctor limited him to 20 lbs.
