Shoulder Replacement

[Guest guest]

like I also had one shoulder done as a reverse shoulder, the

other is a normal replacement.

Jeff also had a reverse shoulder.

where do you get your bras from, ? I have the worst trouble getting

dressed as I can't lift the arm that has the reverse shoulder

The other arm is a good as any one else's I can lift it put it behind my

back etc. Its my right arm that is the problem, and I had my reverse

shoulder done beginning of December 09 and I can't use it any more than if

they left the other one in that didn't work. due to the tendons coming off

the bone.

my only advice about a shoulder is don't do it until its absolutely

necessary, and you are miserable.

Hi , I'm not on the group much but I've had a reverse total

shoulder replacement, along with 2 knee replacements. Not like you though,

I had

no choice. I came off of a horse and broke my shoulder and they couldn't

put me back together so that's what they did. All that I can tell you is

that it's not fun but I had a lot more to heal up from than just the

shoulder

replacement. I had the surgery on April 11th and I'm still in therapy but

they say I'm doing exceptional for what I've been through. Sooo, I'm not

sure if I'm a good one to talk to, but if it's like the knee replacements

and it's affecting your life I to a great extent I would do it. I'm not

sorry I had my knees done at all. If you want I can send you some links

that

I found about shoulder replacements, even one online I think that shows

them doing the surgery. They did the reverse total replacement on me

because

I had so much damage and they said it would give me more movement. The

only thing they said that I shouldn't do is to hook my bra in the back. I

just got front hooking bras. Tell me if you have any questions though, I

can

hopefully help.
