Say no to reverse shoulder replacement

Thank you for the reply,blitheone. Mine initially came from a fall out of a helicopter ( it wasn't like black hawk down).
So mine was a traumatic injury.
I had rotator cuff surgery along with many others.The rotator cuff was completed then revised. Then disappeared. I was in pain and my orthopedic doctor discussed the reverse shoulder replacement. I lived a couple if years with a bad shoulder, and I finally agreed to have the RTSR September of 24. As my last entry stated, it has not improved my life. I'm. still of the opinion that this surgery was not for me.
Ive accepted that I will never have a painless shoulder.
Once again, thank you for your reply.

You might have your nerves in your shoulder/arm checked out. I was in so much pain after my RTS I couldn't see straight let alone move my arm. After I got a EMG did they find a pinched nerve in my axilla. After surgery to get the nerve untrapted, it was a game changer. I could actually use my arm and shoulder again.
