I had my reverse TSR in October of 2021, no unexpected problems, I am very happy with the results, I have good range, no pain. Back to normal in about 3-4 months. I don't even think about it being artificial and have to remind myself to take it easy with those heavy big water buckets or cat litter pails. Prior to the surgery, I had constant arthritic ache in the shoulder, hard to get to sleep because of the ache. My range of motion had shrunk to where I could not raise my right arm level with my shoulder, let alone get it anywhere near my head, all hair washing and showering was left handed. There were days I had to use both hands to get a coffee cup up to my lips. I delayed surgery for as long as I could, but after one particularly painful attack which lasted for a couple of days, I decided it was time! Would do it again.

I'm upset because when I saw my surgeon on February 28th he said it was going to be a labrum repair and arthritic cleanup I just saw the forms for the surgery that I have to sign off on it says total shoulder replacement. When did this change isn't it due diligence to tell a patient when a different decision has been made I don't understand and I'm frightened.
