I had my shoulder replaced 5 years ago no problems until now. My left shoulder is starting to have sharp pain when I move it. How do you know if it is from surgery or something new?

@civnedlaw Is your left shoulder the one that was helped by the surgery? Please think back a search your memory for any unusual injury like a fall or crash into a door jam. I fell down 16 stairs and thankfully missed damaging the "surgery" shoulder. However, I do know that I have felt some crackling at times in that shoulder and have scheduled a time with my MFR therapist to investigate and remove whatever the restriction happens to be.
Secondly, and if your clinician recommends, have an MRI of the shoulder with the sharp pain. I would be very careful until you have answers to your question. If recommended, use ice and heat to temper the pain. Does it help to wear a sling or immobilizer of some kind?
How do the sharp pains move on out at this time? Pain medication? Physical therapy?
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
