Reverse total shoulder complication success
Had RTS in 2019 never completely pain free eventually arm started locking up in pain, felt just as bad pain as before surgery. Was sent to civilian ortho who diagnosed me with what he said was conjoint tendonitis gave me a one time injection which I got immediate relief but he said it would come back. Said there was a surgery still considered experimental but he has never done it. So 3 months later it came back and I was sent to another military surgeon who decided I was a good candidate for surgery and he was willing to do it even though he had never done it before so I went through with surgery August 2025 He released the conjoint tendon and re decompressed the clavicle as bone had grown back and I was feeling an impingement.
It worked!
