Yes, all my shoulder injuries are to the same arm. I fell in April 2016 and had a slight tear to my rotator cuff, but it was not bad enough to worry about, they I fell in Oct, of 2017 and caught my self with my right hand spraining my wrist and shoulder. The final blow was in Aug. 2018. after my knee surgery. I was walking and my left ankle twisted and I went down hard on my new knee and my right shoulder. The knee hurt so bad that I did not realize that I had injured the shoulder. My knee was ok, but sore for a while. After a month, my knee got stronger and I realized my shoulder needed to be seen. I spoke to the knee doctor about falling so much and it is because both knees were so bad. I am glad to hear that you thought the TKR was worse. I was in agony with that and was dreading the shoulder hurting worse. I have started to prepare as much as I can.I am buying large button down shirts that will go over the sling, elastic waist pants, and am looking for some slip on shoes with good arch support. When I recover from the shoulder, I will need to do the left knee. I am really overwhelmed right now.
