Guest guest Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hi Barb, Most shoulder replacements are done due to arthritis like the hip & knee but a reverse is done when there is no rotator cuff so my pain was when I tore the rotator cuff which the pain usually is right at the very top of the arm. You might want to have that checked out.

Is there a specific place like there is for a hip replacement. Hip replacement pain is always in the groin area. Back pain is usually not caused by the hip...... My right arm is beginning to hurt a lot. It is about 2 to 4 inches down from here the arm starts rounding out from the shoulder.......comment?
