I am four years post reverse TSR and it was the best thing I could have done for my arm. I had constant aching and was unable to lift my hand to touch my head or hold heavier objects. I had very little hard pain after surgery, quit taking the opioid based pills after the first day home, (the nausea and constipation was worse than the rTSR pain) did lots of icing and passive pendulum exercises at home before starting true PT. Did the prescribed exercises several times a day. My vertical reach was back to normal in about 4 months and my arm is pain free. We can only speak to our own experiences and mine was very positive.
