Would like others experience on Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement

My surgeon says there will be NO PT with this Reverse TSR, just at home exercises. He is a premier shoulder surgeon in this area and I trust him. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems everyone on here who has had this surgery has had physical therapy. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks.

HI @kcoxit, How are you doing now?
A shoulder replacement was suggested for me, probably the Reverse TSR. I just saw a PA yesterday about my lack of mobility and shoulder pain. She said my shoulder was "horrible" based on Xray (arthritis) and she felt no rotator cuff when she injected me with a steroid. I've had no ability to lift my arm overhead for a couple of years.
She said recovery would be grueling for a few months.
Problem for me is I'm caregiver to my husband with dementia, and a long recovery, more pain and immobility seems out of the question right now.
