@cattanzer I would love to hear updates on how your shoulder progresses. I was told by my orthopedic surgeon that I am a candidate for shoulder replacement whenever I decide the pain is too much. I've had both knees replaced, so not looking for another surgery soon, but the time will probably come in the next year or so. I was horrified to discover that that a person has to keep the arm immobile for so long after surgery. I don't know how I'll get along without using my right hand for everything. I assumed it would be like knee replacement where they want you to use it as much as possible from the get go. Four to six weeks in a sling sounds awful. I would love to hear how to get through it.
