Hello @shel99, I would like to add my welcome to @debbraw's. While we wait for others who have dealt with shoulder arthritis in the past to join this conversation, I though I would share a few discussions you may find relevant and helpful:

- Shoulder Replacement Surgery, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/shoulder-replacement-surgery-1/
- Reverse shoulder replacement, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/reverse-shoulder-replacement/

@shel99, If you don't mind sharing, and are comfortable doing so, how bad is your arthritis? Are you in the beginning stages, or is it toward end-stage arthritis? I have dealt with end-stage arthritis in both ankles and my right knee that all required surgery or replacement to alleviate the pain, mobility, and joint deformation that result from end-stage arthritis and can relate with the frustrations of swelling after overusing.
