How long does it take to heal I had mind done on August 21 and have been in lots of pain what can I do ? I do exercise and PT three times a week but no meds help. Please help me. Terri

I really didn’t have that much pain had to take. I took one pain pill and then just Advil. I don’t know what to tell you I’m sorry.

Mine is around 7-8”

Good luck with it. I'm having one in January.

hello guys i had a reverse total shoulder replacement last july so i’m about a year and 4 months . let me tell you i have my shoulder back for first time in 25 . i prev had an open shoulder replacement stabilization procedure amd they had to make my shoulder tight to prevent future dislocations. the down side was severe rangers of motion issues that got worse every year . til for about last 10 years i had no ability to put my left arm overhead , sleeping was impossible , the shoulder got fatigued so easily , now fast forward had my reverse and i’m playing golf again , working out again ( nothing heavy overhead ) my dr gas out no restrictions on me . the pain to me was minimal. just follow drs instructions amd do your therapy , get an ice machine was very helpful . i slept on recliner two days only then in my bed . i promise you that your only regret is why you waited so long . the pain from the arthritis was gone as soon as the nerve block wore off i knew it was a success , i did swell up a lot but that’s all normal. . good luck to you

Good luck!❤

@XRP-now-co6lz had my surgery two days ago. When the surgeon got into my shoulder he determined that I needed a reverse shoulder replacement, as my socket was too worn away for the anatomic replacement. I received a nerve block, and I have not needed any narcotic pain meds since the surgery, it's just mildly sore and that's it. not bad, I'm able to manage around the house quite well. Hope yours goes well

I am now 9 weeks post surgery. Previous pain is gone. What a pleasure to be able to function again. Still a limited range of motion. PT is working. Some days are pretty tough. All in all I'm quite satisfied with my progress.

as was explained to me by my surgeon the deltoid muscle now powers the shoulder instead of the of the rotator cuff cuff . i am a year and half post op reverse shoulder surgery. and honestly it’s the best decision i ever made i basically had a useless left arm that now i use without any hesitation especially overhead activities , prior to the surgery i was very apprehensive in any activity overhead , i can remember when my son was young and having a baseball catch any balls over my head i never attempted to catch was affraid to lift arm overhead

I’m really sorry for your troubles! I know that living with pain is just plain awful. I’m at the beginning of the process of a left shoulder replacement due to severe arthritis pain. I have all day pain - not 24 x 7 because I can sleep pretty well with a pillow under my left arm and some maneuvering. If I shift from my position at all in the night, though, it’s instant stabbing pain that can easily go to a 9 or 10 and then I have to come down from the pain to go back to sleep! Just awful how it affects the quality of your life. I wish you the best of luck with your most recent surgery and healing! ❤

@@gmaellen5530 I know what you are going through. I tend to sit downstairs most of the night because I can't sleep either, I am happy when morning comes. I was diagnosed with stenosis in my lumbar spine and cervical spine many years ago. I am losing the use of my legs and hands and I had an MRI scan which showed I need an operation as quickly as possible, which in England will probably means months or years. I hope you can get your operation and it is successful. I hope you have a nice Christmas and a pain-free New Year. Best Wishes, Joe

I want to cry for u.😢😢😢😢going for a replacement 23 july 2024

So sorry these things have happened to you. How could any surgeon allow a trainee to do this even with him watching. I have massive tears right now but only pain when I use my shoulder. I can lift it straight up and straight to the side and straight in front of me. But I can't lift it to dishes and bring the dish down. I can't pick up my coffee pot and although I can reach straight out to the side, I can't lift my coffee cup and bring it into my mouth. I hold my head over to take a pick, brush, comb through it but can hold my arm close in to wash my hair, with pressure on my shoulder that limits the time for washing. Hold my elbow out to eat and I have to hold my arm in close to drink my coffee cup or drink from anything else. There's so much more but the doctor from a prestigious facility told me there's nothing he can do outside of a reverse joint replacement, and he says he would feel guilty putting me through that since I have other amazing range of motion. I've had both knees replaced somewhere else that gave me a small little red/pinkish that was 10 mg of Oxycontin, Tramadol, and believe this or not, EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL! AT MY SECOND CHECK UP THE NURSE TRIED TO TALK ME OUT OF ANOTHER PRESCRIPTION OF THE LITTLE TINY OXYCONTIN PILLS. SHE ASKED ME HOW OFTEN I TOOK THEM AND I TOLD HER ON A TIMELY BASIS. SHE RAISED HER VOICE TO ME AND SAID YOU'RE TIMING THEM!! AND TRYING TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE I WAS GETTING ADDICTED. I LET A LITTLE BOY NURSE TALK ME OUT OF A PAIN PILL THAT I DESPARETELY NEEDED UPON DISCHARGE. I WAS STRESSED TO THE MAX. THEY GAVE ME A TALK ABOUT OPIOIDS AND ADDITION AND I TOLD THEM IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BECOME ADDICTED YOU WILL NOT BE!! OH THEY DISAGREED AND DISAGREED!! IT ANGERED ME I CAN TELL YA THAT. I'M 71 YEARS OLD AND I KNOW THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF BECOMING ADDICTED HOWEVER, I'M NOT ONE WHO EVER WANTS TO BE. A STUDENT TALKED TO ME ABOUT IT TOO, I SAID TO HIM, I'VE NEVER EVEN IN MY LIFE SMOKED MARIJUANA AND GUESS WHAT... TO THAT HE COULD NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH TO ME. I'M QUITE SURE THEY ALL HAD SMOKED IT!! I DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK THERE FOR MY SHOULDER. THEY MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS WANTING TO GET ADDICTED IT JUST MADE ME FEEL SO DOWNGRADED. TRAMADOL AND GOD KNOWS EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL DIDN'T TOUCH THAT KIND OF PAIN!! AND I HAD TO SUFFER IT OUT. THIS WAS DUE TO OPIOID ADDICTION GOING ON ALL OVER AND THE STREET PEOPLE ARE STILL GETTING THOSE DARN DRUGS. THEY CANNOT EVER STOP IT BECAUSE THERE ARE THE ELIT'S WHO GET THEIR POCKETS FILLED WITH MONEY AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT OUR CHILDREN!! BUT I GO IN AND OTHERS GO INAND GET TREATED LIKE THEY ARE ALL ADDICTS OR JUST WANT THOSE DRUGS FROM THEM. I HAD THAT TO GO THROUGH TWICE!! THIS WAS ANOTHER PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITY AND THEY HOLD MANY, MANY AWARDS AND THE SURGEON I HAD IS HIGHLY RESPECTED FOR HIS TEAM GETTING THINGS DONE THOROUGHLY AND HE DEFINITELY IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!! BUT NOT TO HOLD PAIN MEDICATION FROM PATIENTS AFTER A MAJOR PAINFUL SURGERY LIKE THAT. NOW HERE'S ANOTHER HIGHLY RESPECTED SURGEON WHO REALLY DOES NOT WANT TO REPAIR MY SHOULDER. THEY ARE SO MUCH YOUNGER AND FOR WHAT YEARS I HAVE LEFT I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT I ENJOY AND THAT'S WORKING OUTSIDE ON MY PROPERTY. I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN MY PROPERTY! HE DID SAY IF I GOT IN TOO MUCH PAIN I CAN CALL AND SAY I WANT THE SURGERY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW I HATED TO HAVE ANOTHER SURGERY AT THE SAME TIME BUT I ALSO HAVE A LUMBAR FACET JOINT PROBLEM THAT'S KIND OF SLIPPED DOWN FROM A FALL I HAD. THAT MAY END UP IN SURGERY. PLUS, A PRIVATE PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAD TO SURGERY. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT TILL I'M TO OLD TO GET THESE THINGS DONE EITHER. SO, I'M IN A DELIMA I FEEL LIKE. I'VE LOST A FIRST HUSBAND, MY TWO CHILDREN AND FATHER. IT'S FILLED MY MIND AND HEART WITH SO MUCH GRIEF AND PRESSURE THAT I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO TURN!

i had it done last july. a huge success i could not be happier

May I ask your age, pls?

@@richardspinosa6277 May I ask your age pls?

i agree had mine last july the pain was minimal and the pain prior to surgery was gone immediately

You can't lift after a reverse. Only stemless total shoulder allows you to lift or sports

Need to find dr who will work with you. Just had a reverse and I still compete in masters powerlifting, bench press not going to be the same probably but squat and deads should be ok?

@@kerrykeene5580 I’m 55 years old getting mine in a few days. My doctor said nothing over 25 lbs . How much can you lift before you feel the join starting to move? Does more rep than weight lifting help keep the joint in place? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

my dr from hospital for spec surgery put no restrictions on me as far as weightlifting. obviously i m not benching 300lbs any more i’m 60 but i still do 225 and all other exercises , just nothing overhead more than 20 lbs

I asked my Dr. this and he told me “If you’re looking to test the limits you’ll find out and it won’t be good” so I took that as my powerlifting days will be over.
