    2025 November Nimbles - Are you having knee surgery in November

    I am having knee revision surgery on November 7, 2025. Surgeon is going to replace the polyliner due to the same as you. I have ligaments and tendons that stretch out after surgeries to give me stability in my knee. I'm 68 y/o and I fall when my knee isn't stable. I have osteoporosis and...

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement Reverse shoulder & humerus replacement?

    I get out of this splint on Thursday and start my therapy with my therapist. I'm excited, but a bit anxious because I don't want to mess anything up with this repair.

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement Reverse shoulder & humerus replacement?

    Well I made it through surgery. The bone piece the surgeon removed had the triceps tendon attached to it. He then had to repair it using bone anchors and reattaching it back to the ulna bone where it was torn from. I'm in a splint and arm sling for I don't know how long. I see the surgeon on...

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement Reverse shoulder & humerus replacement?

    I am still in so much pain that my surgeon has agreed to operate and remove the bone pieces to see if that will help with the pain. I am scheduled for 9/25/24, so very soon. I have an appointment with surgeon next Monday to ask my many questions. Let's get this on the road!

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement Reverse shoulder & humerus replacement?

    Replacing the humerus along with a reverse shoulder is questionable about the results. Yes I have gotten a second opinion about my shoulder/humerus and there are very few docs out there that even do this surgery. My care has been referred to my elbow doctor. I will see my shoulder doctor in...

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement Reverse shoulder & humerus replacement?

    I have been asked to tell you all how my recovery went after my reverse shoulder revision along with a humerus (full metal) replacement. Well not very well. I was still in therapy with my shoulder (recovery is soo slow) when I fell walking in my yard and fractured my left elbow on 5/19/2024. I...

    Elbow Returning to BoneSmart

    My injury is a left comminuted supracondylar distal humerus fracture and left distal triceps avulsion fracture off the olecranon. Thus I have several bone pieces thruout my elbow. My pain is sooo bad that Oxycodone and Tylenol doesn't seem to help touch the pain much, so I only take it before...

    Elbow Returning to BoneSmart

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement Reverse shoulder & humerus replacement?

    After a humerus replacement, how long should I be in a shoulder immobilizer? When does therapy begin? Surgeon isn't letting me do very much out of shoulder immobilizer yet. Pendlelem exercises and one mild stretching is all he is allowing me to do. I am not to use my muscles in my arm at all...

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement Reverse shoulder & humerus replacement?

    Long story short... on 12/14/2023 I had a reverse total shoulder revision with a humerus replacement also. Surgeon was going to use donor bone, but none could be found so we went with full metal replacement. I need a person who has had this done to help me get through this. Please respond to my...

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement What a Mess!!

    My arm/shoulder hasn't gotten any better! The nerve pain is awful and I can't move my arm. It's like I've had a stroke. It's been 3 months ago since surgery and I've convinced the surgeon to get an EMG. I'm having that done on Friday and the surgeon is supposed to give me the results on the...

    Reverse Shoulder Replacement What a Mess!!

    I went to the OS on Friday and he told me he had such difficulty getting the stem out of my humerus that he had to break my arm in 3 places. This will make it a much longer recovery. He put me back in the sling, told me I could only do passive ROM, and because I am in so much pain he refilled my...
