Good evening @tfarizona. I read your post before my walk this evening and then spent some time thinking about it while swinging in a swing along the Mississippi. My shoulder surgery was a reverse meaning that what I call the "ball and socket" are switched. It was also my third surgery on that shoulder which means that I had been in considerable pain and discomfort for quite some time.

Here is what Mayo Clinic states about PT prior to shoulder replacement......"Mayo Clinic provides dedicated, individualized physical therapy sessions for all patients prior to surgery." I can attest to the purported individualization as I am currently in a patient unique PT program to prevent falling by increasing my strength and balance.

Is your surgery scheduled at Mayo Clinic?

May you be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris

Yes my surgery is scheduled at Mayo Clinic Arizona.

Good for you Chris. Great information. Question - under what conditions is a reverse shoulder replacement done?

All the best,

Joe
