Has anyone over75 y/o had a Reversed Shoulder Reolcement sx.

I had the procedure 5 yrs ago Tulsa Bone and Joint. Perfect ongoing results

That’s great. How much did you have after surgery.

I had bone on bone and had a rTSR of the right shoulder on 5/1/25. I was 76. The results are absolutely great. Very little pain after the surgery which I handled with Tylenol. In a sling for ~ 3 weeks although I took it off for sitting and eating (I am right handed). Slept in a recliner for three weeks. Started PT at that time which lasted 5 weeks. Do all the exercises. My range of motion is very good. I can hit tennis balls as of December.

If you get a shot before the surgery to block the pain be careful the first day until the block wears off. I removed the sling to put the arm through the sleeve of a shirt and it fell and flopped like wet spaghetti. I was afraid I pulled the screws out but it was okay.

After 5 months the shoulder felt normal although the doctor has limited me to 30 lbs lifting with the right arm. I am considering getting the left shoulder replaced as well which is bone on bone.

Good luck.

My case is not common. On 10/29/25 I had (L) TRSR because my joints are being destroyed. I did Not age into this situation. Not diagnosed because doctors can’t tell what I have. (RA? PMR?) but triggered by a shingles shot on 6/11/24. Unmedicated since 7/21/25. I am in extreme pain but not from the surgery. I’m in physical therapy until February but it will get extended for another 2 months. My (R) shoulder will be replaced once my left is sufficiently healed and I can reach behind my back to pull up my pants! The shoulder is not awful; it’s the bone deterioration that makes my surgery so complicated.

Lady at my church had surgery last April, subsequently packed up her house and moved across town to a new home, took a 10-day trip to Europe and is doing very well. We had the same, excellent surgeon.
Best wishes to you!

I had it done when i turned 70 . now i can't even comb my hair with my right arm.
