Shoulder Replacement Surgery: Range of motion?

Hey thanks for the prompt reply. I'm a left handed golfer and it is my left shoulder. Several members posted limited motion in raising arm and movement toward the back. Motions necessary for a left handed golfer. Golf is probably out, but arthritic pain relief seems assured.
Also, advice is not to lift more than five pounds!? I like to cook, some if my pots and pans are more than five pounds. Shoulder replacement will be a major life changing event...can I put up with the pain?...not for thecrest of my life.

Back at you already @gene924. Unfortunately, I think golf will be limited to maybe miniature golf?????? I made it easier by taking my golf "stuff" to a sports reseller. Same thing with my bowling ball and shoes.
What did I replace that activity with..........walking with a group of ladies on week-long inn to inn walks around the world. The first one was the Ring of Kerry in Ireland. We usually walked 10 to 14 or15 miles a day. We walked in pastures, along 40 miles of sandy beach.....sand takes extra energy.....through forests and along country roads. We shared walks with sheep, cows, horses, and occasionally another group from somewhere interesting.
Still have time.....try yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.....brain and body exercises.
May you find some joy in every day.
