Replacement shoulder

I’d be interested too. I can cope fairly well with painkillers but the arthritis in my shoulder is certainly restricting use.

I think that’s what my hairdresser had done, just before Covid.

Hate to sound negative, it seemed great for a while, but think she is waiting to have it re-done, as it is not right again.

I have had bi-lateral reconstructive shoulder surgery, not both at the same time though as I had to wear a sling for 6 weeks post-op. The surgeon was reluctant to replace them as the outcome wasn't thought to be particularly good.
Pain was excruciating, but it was before the repairs so it was a double edge sword.
It is important to do the physiotherapy exercises too.
I continue to have arthritis in both shoulders but this is manageable with good pain management and exercise.

Please make sure you choose an orthopaedic consultant with a specific interest in shoulders.

I was around when the first replacements were inserted and then they dislocated easily. I am going back many years and no doubt surgery has improved but it was impossible to do up a bra properly. It had to be fastened at the front and slid around.
