I had a regular replacement at Mayo’s Arizona in 2017, it never worked correctly and then I went to Steadman clinic in 2022 and was in formed it had failed and that their were metal fragments in the muscle
I had the replacement removed and went without a ball and socket for 12 weeks and then a special custom prothesis had to be made as so much bone was lost that the new sleeve goes almost to my elbow.
I am 3 weeks out today and dealing with a great deal of pain and swelling. I am icing it twice or more daily and going to PT. Need a oxycodone when it get up to a level 8-10.
I understand it is very rare to have this pain after a reversal but that is my experience. Progress is being made but very slow and flare ups still occur
