3 month out from TSR,80yrs old still weak from it

Posted by labsnme @labsnme, 2 days ago

4 month since TSR and shoulder iis doing well. However ii had walking pneumonia a month ago and it put me down and I'm still not getting stronger. Has anyone had any lenghty recovery or is this normal? Im 80 yrs.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Joint Replacements Support Group.

Hi, I had my first shoulder replacement when I was 59. It took me a good 6 months to feel back to “normal’ However, having pneumonia on top of a recent major surgery is likely the reason for the ongoing fatigue./weakness. Recovering from pneumonia can take up to a couple of months. Be patient with yourself

Hi, I had my first shoulder replacement when I was 59. It took me a good 6 months to feel back to “normal’ However, having pneumonia on top of a recent major surgery is likely the reason for the ongoing fatigue./weakness. Recovering from pneumonia can take up to a couple of months. Be patient with yourself

Hope you get this. Ty for your reply
I need to find patience in order to heal. I also have RA but I will get there.

You will definitely get there. Having RA, a recent total shoulder replacement and having pneumonia is a lot. I’m sure each day you will begin to see small gains. Hang in there Reach out anytime
