On 1/25/23, I had a left shoulder arthroplasty (total left shoulder replacement) utilizing the Reverse Implant Components.
Recovery was quick and very little pain. The reattachment of my left bicep was required due the severe arthritis I had eaten away my bicep at the connection point to my shoulder, so they had to remove the diseased tissue before reattachment via a hybrid thread to "sew" it back in place and then secured a plate over the new connection. With the bicep muscle now being shorter, I was having a great deal of pain as the physical therapists worked diligently in treating my recovery of my bicep surgery. It has been almost 5 months since my surgery and I'm progressing well with strength training currently. One thing I wished I had known was the weight restrictions I've been given that will be a lifetime guide/restriction as long as I tread this Earthly plain. The 35# deadlift weight restriction and 25# overhead guideline/restriction seem realistic during my Rehabilitation, but I'll likely test those li.its by the end of 2023.
