Reverse Shoulder Replacement: Recovery process

I'm not sure I understand both of your surgery causes. Did the reverse shoulder replacement dislocate so it needed to be replaced? When I hear that the ball popped out of the socket it has me very worried. Didn't know that could happen. I'm almost 5 months out from my 2nd surgery, reverse shoulder replacement, ...the first was a lower trapezius tendon transfer that didn't work. I'm still doing 10 different PT exercises and have just started hitting a tennis ball on the court. I can reach almost 180 above my head and have been told there are no restrictions. Dislocation???? ouch. Marty... I too have had God walking with me the whole way.

In my circumstance the ball didn’t disconnect from the socket. The ball started to come loose from its base. The great thing about the second surgery was that the surgeon was more skilled than the first (trauma) surgeon. I ended up with a better alignment with the rest of my shoulder along with bone chips being removed. Blessing in disguise.
