Thank you! My xrays show no cartilage in either shoulder. diagnosis is all due to OA. Tried cortisone and that worked for about 8 weeks, so TSR is the next step. Yes, I did try PT and the joints are too far gone.
When I wake up 6-8 time per night to change positions due to pain, it's just not a realistic way to live.
We'll survive. It's what we do!

It’s so nice not to have the before surgery pain like I had. Before surgery, my left arm was unusable. I couldn’t even hold a cup of coffee in it. It fell right out of my hand. Now I’m just having an achy feeling due to my muscles not waking up. But I will take this achy feeling anytime over the pain, popping, crunching, burning pain that I was having.
