Say no to reverse shoulder replacement

@hsminc Good afternoon. Thank you for your response. I understand that I should see another doctor for my shoulder. My primary care doctor said there is nothing can be done. I have nothing else to work with. The humerus is gone. All I can do now is pain management.
The weakness in my shoulder is terrible. I can't use my right arm to get out a chair. My shoulder is weak and painful. I had some pain and weakness prior, but the surgery made it worse. It's one bad decision in my life that will effect me for life.
If anyone has some insight that would help with my shoulder, please let me know
Thanks for the posrs!

@koneil if you “google” ‘Can a humerus be rebuilt after surgery?’ All sorts of possibilities “pop up”!!
I don’t know anything about your primary care doctor but is it possible he has not explored possibilities? In our experience with working with hundreds of seriously maimed, injured and medically ill patients, we often found that well meaning overworked primary care patients did not have the time or wherewithal to do due diligence in researching and evaluating possibilities for their patients. I urge YOU to pursue this. If you cannot, contact the most well thought of orthopedic shoulder center(s) and call, call, call! Good luck!
Where are you located? Mayo in Rochester mn has some fantastic shoulder surgeons; the Andrews Institute in Pensacola Florida; the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York - almost any academic or large private clinic should be able to
Guide you.
