Well it seems I’m getting the reputation of being the ”Fly in the Ointment” on this site. However there are always positives and negatives to all situations and surgery, unfortunately isn’t always the cure all doctors and people want it to be. When I had my first two shoulder stabilization surgeries I had high hopes for a successful outcome but it wasn’t to be. My third was far from a cure either. Doctors have already informed me my replacement surgeries would be difficult and wouldn’t be as successful as in people without the additional damage that I have. The shoulder is made up of four joints, all of mine are damaged.

@jakedduck1 - Thank you for sharing. The more input the better. No fly in the Ointment here scenario here since we know all of us are different ☺

jakeduck1 Thank you for your note. You are saying what various orthopedics have told me. The damage is so bad that it would be a difficult surgery and a longer recuperation...… then a year's wait to do the second one. However, all that knowledge doesn't keep one from wanting to hear something better, does it? I have not gone to Mayo's with the problem and that's the only thing I can think of that could be better. Anyone on here -- in old age -- have both shoulders replaced at Mayo's????
