Hi Diane, Thank you for your response. I have a rheumatologist here in Prescott and one at Mayo Clinic. Both are baffled as to what is going on. RA/PMR or not? I am not symmetrical as they think I should be. I will see my surgeon on Thursday and pray to God this reverse shoulder replacement will 'hold' and the inflammation will not cause further destruction to my bones. I am in touch with GSK, maker of Shingrix which triggered all this. My friend is on RINVOQ but my doctors will not prescribe it for me, as it has black box warnings. Now, Kevjara (which I took earlier this year and it tanked my cell counts), seems to have warnings as well. Always something!

Hi Susan,
I'm sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I am a retired RN. I have had several friends that have had the reverse shoulder replacement. They both said that the pain was much worse with the reverse surgery. maybe just run that by your surgeon.
I wish you all the best. Please keep us updated.
