Hello, I am a 65 year old woman living on the coast of North Carolina. I am scheduled for a total shoulder replacement of my right shoulder on July 30th.I have had a number of surgeries over the years but am a bit intimidated by this one for some reason. I have heard from others locally that it is not that bad and that it is very painful. If someone would care to share their experiences i would appreciate it. Also, what did you wear for shirts that would accommodate the shoulder and the sling? Thanks for any info provided.
