Greetings @kcoxict, you have quite a gathering of supporters showing up to help you with your decision about a Reverse Shoulder Replacement. I will happily join this group and shout encouragement. You mention that sleeping on the shoulder hurts. That bothered me also along with movement and support issues. My surgeon and physical therapist worked together and what my surgeon called the "Grand Canyon" of holes is now a pain-free and strong shoulder.

I actually had three surgeries on the right shoulder.......a rotator cuff repair attempt, a cadaver attempt and finally a reverse replacement. I am now a candidate for surgery on the other shoulder.

Did you know that you can now have a custom replacement created that fits your shoulder? When I had mine done there was no ability to create individually created material. The chances for a better and more accurate fit are now available.

Anything else you are interested in knowing to help with your decision?

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