Good afternoon @swarne1011 and a big welcome to Connect. As mentors, we are here to share our experiences and help you find answers to your questions. As I read your question, I think that you are asking if there is evidence to back up your doctor's comment about age-appropriate shoulder replacement surgery.

I have had multiple shoulder surgeries including a reverse replacement. Let's begin with my general knowledge. Does it make sense to say that older patients notice a greater improvement in function than the younger patients and with less discomfort? Essentially the thinking is that older folks have had more pain and loss of function for much longer than younger patients. Their expectations may not be as high as the younger folks who want to play basketball again in six weeks. They would accept being pain-free as a good outcome.

Are you considering a shoulder replacement? At 58, was this from an injury or accident? Have you previously had rotator cuff repair?
Be well and at ease. Chris
