Aaww I'm sorry you had to experience that! Yes, I had shoulder replacement done under 5 months ago. Meds weren't doing the job at all.. Survived though.. Still have months to go Dr. Said to gain all strength and pain go away as muscle gets stronger. I have so many autoimmune disease issues.. Antiphospholipid syndrome, Sleraderma, Sjögren's, Raynouds, I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic pain syndrome, I've had several ischemic strokes, no high BP ever, and I have pulmonary fibrosis now from Connective Tissue Disease. Life gives us things to deal with and sometimes it's to much I know. Much luck sent your way. Prayers!!!

Hi @taylor05,
What kind of treatments are you getting for scleroderma?

Scleroderma is known to cause ILD - pulmonary fibrosis. Do you have restrictive lung disease as well with low Pulmonary function test results?
If yes, that would be a limiting factor for general anesthesia. How did you do with general anesthesia for surgery?

I am asking, because I had a similar situation.
