Shoulder Replacement: Still having pain

I had two reverse shoulder replacements last year…4 months apart. Seven weeks is not enough time to be out of pain. I went thru 7 months of physical therapy. My doctor moved out of state a week after my last surgery. I am seeing another orthopedic surgeon. I am still not out of pain. Turns out I have heterotopic ossification and notching in one shoulder and have been told I need another major surgery to correct this. The other shoulder has a fractured scapula from the surgery. So, that shoulder also hurts. Give it time to heal. If the pain is still there, An MRI should tell you if there is a problem. Best wishes for a smooth recovery. Just taking it day by day.

Thank you

Scapula is healed. Going to physical therapy and doing well. Right shoulder needs a revision…but pain has subsided so I will wait to jump into another surgery. It has been over a year now. Pain is better and life is good.
