Thank you. I was told I have two options from this scan. Live with it or reverse shoulder replacement. After an unsuccessful spine surgery five years ago I'm suspicious of such a prognosis by an expert who was so short with me. My wife and I sat through MRI explanation with the spine surgeon who sold a big surgery that changed my life. My main problem was hip pain which was actually caused by my hip. Which I realized after my hip only got worse after the spine surgery. A different hip doc replaced it two years later after a terrible wait, partially due to Covid shutting down elective surgeries. The shoulder replacement looks like a lengthy process to recovery and I'm not so trusting these days that I might end up as bad or worse than I am now. Forgive my ignorance, but I can't help but wonder if a clean out wouldn't be an improvement. I was also told I couldn't pick up over 25 lbs. Something about this feels funny.
