Good evening @tfarizona. Well, I must admit, I am excited about your recovery progress. At least it far surpasses min. I do want to start with a couple of questions. Was this surgery a reverse TSR? Mine was a reverse that happened as the result of a fall down my mountain. I was finally approved for the TSR after two years of PT, and two surgical attempts including a cadaver graft. That was in 2011. While I have no real discomfort, I cannot get to full flexion and have difficulty eating an ice cream cone. Very awkward and looks freaky.

By the way.....did you know that they can now make the reverse "parts" from a 3-D model of your shoulder. One of my problems is that my reverse parts are too large for the space that was available. They also creak and groan when I put on a sweatshirt or a winter jacket. My MFR therapist does work on both shoulders when the discomfort increases.

If I do need reverse surgery on the other shoulder I think I will ask for a "fitting". So...I am not a medical professional but I don't know about strength being the issue. In my case, I think it is about getting a good fit.

Please let me know about your progress and I would like to know what your surgeon says in 10 days. Would it be possible to remember me asking for an update? Thanks.

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