Reverse shoulder replacement outcomes and limitations

Posted by basslakebabe19 @basslakebabe19, Jun 17, 2019

I have had chronic pain for years when both rotator cuff muscles were lost due to dissolving tendons. The only surgery probable for me is the reverse shoulder replacement. I would like to hear from people who have had the surgery -- both positive and negative. Also, when did you have the surgery as I Understand there have been improvements in the last five years. What limitations have you faced?

Hi has anyone had a reverse shoulder replacement? When my saw my doctor on the 28th after he had reviewed the MRI and CT scan he said I needed a labrum repair and arthritic cleanup I just got the request form for surgery and it says total shoulder replacement is this an error or did he change his mind without telling me?
I'm upset.
