I have dislocated both my shoulders countless times because of seizures. Ive had multiple surgeries but continued to dislocate. When I was about 20, my doctor said by the time I was 40 I would have to have artificial shoulders, but I'm 73 now and I still refuse to have the shoulder replacement surgery. My shoulders seem to have stabilized and any pain I' have I'm able to tolerate and have accepted my limitations. I'm going to continue to stick with my original parts until the time comes that I can no longer tolerate the pain or limitations. I have extensive damage in buth shoulders, neck and surrounding structures. Are you still having this locations? If so, have you had any stabilization surgeries to help prevent them.
You sound like me, very hesitant. If and when I ever have shoulder replacement surgery or any other type shoulder surgery, it will be because I definitely know I have no other choice.
Best of luck to you,
Jake
