Sorry: I was not clear in my message: I have not had the left shoulder replaced yet. I am waiting for the CT scan, which will be made on August 10 for a 3D model. Then the surgeon will give me a date for surgery. So about 6 months after that I need to have the right shoulder replaced.
Reverse seems to be less painful and it seems to have good results in the elderly. The dr. told me I will not be able to use the left arm for 6 weeks at all. After that he told me the result is dependent on the effort you put in at the PT. A friend of mine had it done. She is quite happy, she can not lift her arm above her head, but can wash and care for herself easily. She drives a car.
