Hi @martydav, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @amandajro and other members. My experience is only with a knee replacement but icing and elevating were two important aspects for me to keep the pain and swelling down. I've read cold therapy with cryocuffs or ice bags should be used to keep down pain after shoulder replacement surgery (https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/orthopaedic-surgery/specialty-areas/shoulder/treatments-procedures/total-shoulder-replacements.html).

Have you talked to your surgeon or care team for suggestions?
