Hey you, I had both shoulders TSA over the past year. 2nd one was Feb 28th. Have you ever resolved the clicking? I'm trying so hard to build muscle to help stop the clicking, but I tried to lift something 2 days ago & it's Popping again. I would so greatly appreciate some extra knowledge on the recovery of TSA. Thx @basslakebabe19. & y'all who give input. Namaste💞💥🌊

Okay.... I'm the one that had the unusual surgery in May... It didn't work... so two weeks ago today , Oct. 9th, 2020, they did a total reverse shoulder replacement. Had my post surgery appt. yesterday and PT today. My arm is and has been pretty pain free since the surgery (GET A NERVE BLOCK CATHETER). I can lift my arm to 115 degrees 2 weeks post surgery... That was just an evaluation.. NOT recommended. I'm pain free and will wear the sling for another week. My goal is to get back to tennis ... we will see, but the surgery seems to have been successful. I'm 67, good weight, average height, and since 4 days after surgery have walked 10,000 steps a day. Totally supportive of this surgery. The one upside.... my right arm is now about 2.5 inches longer than my left. When I get back to tennis, it will be hard to get a ball past me on the forehand side 🙂
