Does anyone have experience with a Reverse shoulder replacement?

I had reverse should surgery in Nov 2024, I still have pain in my shoulder in my back and also in my shoulder. He did rotator cuff in Nov 23 and it failed. I thought the reverse shoulder surgery would fix the problem but I still have pain. This can't be common, is it? Is there anyone else who still have pain almost 6 months later? He wants to do my right shoulder now and I'm scared. Think this problem has occurred due to a traumatic car accident (passenger) I was in at 21 years, got a fractured pelvis (3 places) & sacroiliac. Have had 18 major surgeries since then, 2 of which were c-sections due to my pubic bones smashed together. Now also have lower bowel problems due to accident. So frustrated and angry!!!!!

I'm one of the RTSR patients that are still in pain. This is after eight months. It's worse than before my surgery.

I had a reverse shoulder replacement in October 2022 after a several rotator cuff surgeries that didn't help.
I am still seeing my doctor and surgeon for constant pain and burning.
They have completed every test imaginable and can't explain why.
The only thing that helped me was being put on 300mg Cleocin (clindamyacin) 3 x a day.
It worked but was taken off after about twoonths and the pain and burning came back. More tests done, even the Infectious Disease doctor doesn't know why I'm having so much pain.
I was put back on the antibiotic Cleocin about 2 weeks ago and told that if it helps again, I will probably have to take it for maintenance everyday.
Our last option would be to go back in and try to find the issue.
They used the Exactech parts for my surgery.
Prayers you get some relief very soon.
