I have had three reverse shoulder surgeries ( one had to be redone— my fault) . I’m doing fine now. The shoulders are not totally normal like before, but they are pain free and allow me to do many everyday tasks now except “ backcomb” the cowlick in the back of my head. I can even swing dance a bit! It takes lots of PT to regain strength and range of motion. I worked on it religiously for a few months. I am pleased overall with the results. Mayo-Rochester has an outstanding shoulder surgeon. I am 77, by the way. Younger people might recover faster.

I am having mine Wed the 18th of Aug 2021 for the left shoulder replacement surgery with a reverse method since I have fake knees and though I get along ok with them I do use my arms just a bit to get up. What did you do wrong so I don't do it? I live in a rural area...
