I didn’t have pain or swelling afterwards of my surgery 5 years ago. Sling was on 3 days. The only thing that was hard was getting dressed. I was back to normal in 45 days.

I have had reverse shoulder replacement done in both of my shoulders and am 3 weeks post operative with the right should, I am in no pain, and start physio in a weeks time. I am so thankful I was able to be able to have this surgery, the pain relief is Incredible, the hardest thing is the 4 weeks in sling, but it is worth it, it does take 3 to 4 months to get your strength back but then you awre as good as new, I am 83 yrs old.

Jan, thank you so much, am just starting down the road having tests and what not. I’m 73 and very worried about it being over for me.

When I had knee replacement surgery 2 years ago, I had a real struggle with scar tissue developing after surgery. Recovering ROM was a race to stay ahead of the developing scar tissue. Is this not as much an issue with shoulder replacement? My TSR is coming up in January.

Am 8 weeks post op, and in so much pain. My arm above my elbow is numb. I am miserable. I hope it gets better.

Very helpful video! Surgery went great but post-surgical advice was vague.

Fantastic video, I am one week post op and not doing so bad. The pain was 7-8 out of 10 for a good few days but settled to 5 now. The hardest part of the this is sleeping with your sling but you have to do it to protect your shoulder. Hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks I will be in a better place.

8 months ago I had a rotary cup surgery but two months ago I found out that I tore my rotary cup again the surgeon said he's not going to stitch me up again the tear was too large the surgeon want me to talk to one of his colleagues that does reverse shoulder surgery I'm 65 years old and good health I'm not in a lot of pain I have developed arthritis in my shoulder I still can't sleep on the side of my shoulder I had to sleep on my back I still work full-time but to be honest I don't know if I want another surgery I might just have to retire

I’m almost 70 and had it done 5 week’s ago and it’s the smartest thing I have ever done.
