Reverse shoulder replacement for full supraspinatus tear
Joint Replacements | Last Active: 7 hours ago | Replies (7)Comment receiving replies
I'm soon to have a total reverse left shoulder replacement (TRSR). For some time, with the arm pain and limitations, I haven't been able to swim freestyle. Is it possible for you, or for anyone here who has had a TRSR, to swim freestyle some time after the operation? Will I be able ever to swim my two kilometres in the Australian sunshine again? I'm nearly 65.

@rosaco Yes! Assuming a normal surgical outcome and seriously working on PT movement afterwards, you may be able to start swimming again within 6 months, or earlier if given the go ahead by your medical team. It’s great that you have a goal to shoot for, makes the recovery work easier.
