Thanks for your post. I have been told that I will have no arthritic pain and full range of motion perhaps even golf again after reverse shoulder replacement surgery. These posts tell a different story, range of motion is quite limited with no sporting activity possible. Other posts re. Range of motion after total shoulder replacement?

Good morning @gene924, and a great big welcome to Connect. We are glad you are here and we are here for you. Our mission as mentors is to improve the quality of life for every member. Without a medical background, we cannot diagnose or prescribe medication/treatment. What we can do is share experiences because we have been there.

I do know one member who has returned to tennis adequately. Don't know about golf. If you are a right-handed golfer and it is your left shoulder...it might work. I received my reverse shoulder on my right side, my dominant side. I am very fortunate to have no pain and a good range of motion. I think my right arm is an inch or two longer now than my left arm. That alone can put a stop to your golf game. I no longer have the joy of acing my male challengers. Awwww!

May you be mentally and physically healthy.
Chris
