I'm sorry you're experiencing prolonged post surgery pain. I had a reverse revision of my left shoulder and within 4 months I was able to play golf again. There must be something else at work in your case.

Unfortunately, I experienced a failure of the revision three and a half years later, owing to C.acnes bacterial infection. I'm in the process now of IV antibiotics and will need another surgery in about 6 weeks. I hope you don't have an infection. Has you doctor ruled it bbn out?

Great that its working out for you! I guess Im just a a number. All the other people I asked for input on the replacement, and that was recieved last month. Good luck with your recovery.

An infection can develope with or without antibiotics. Once again I was
not offered an food or drink.
I'm glad your recovery is going well
