How to prepare for shoulder replacement surgery?

I had a reverse shoulder replacement on 10/13/2022 and from day 1 I slept in my recliner. You can not roll on your side in your sleep, which you should not do at all. I am still more happy sleeping in my recliner after 4 months, since my other shoulder is painful. I have had minimal pain - I used maybe 4 or 5 narcotic pain pills. For the rest I could do with just 2 tylenol. I can do everything with my arm again. No restrictions. I am a very happy patient!

What an enthusiastic patient you are. I agree with you, the reverse shoulder replacement surgery sure worked for me. Couldn't quite play golf again but my "life" door certainly opened positively.

It is so important to share positive outcomes. We need to read more posts like yours.
