    Reverse Shoulder Replacement Recovery is going great!

    I had my total reverse shoulder replacement on my dominant arm on 7/8. Nerve block wore off afternoon of 7/9. I took my arm out of my sling after about 4 hours of pain and let my arm hang and pain went away. Stayed on Oxycodone for 5 days, then just took Tylenol. It is awkward getting around...

    Scheduled TRSR in one week. I am as prepared as I can be. Looking forward to the recovery side. Had a knee replacement last year which went well all around. Nervous about pain with this upcoming surgery. Any words of advice?

    Pre-Hab before a TSR - who has experience with Pre-Hab?

    My surgeon recommended that I do pre-hab prior to my shoulder surgery in July. I am working with PT to strengthen shoulder muscles and try to increase range of motion. My shoulder pain is more manageable since I have started PT.

    Hello everyone, I am in the process of scheduling my surgery for July 2024. Question: I work from home and am wondering if others went back to work at 2 weeks after surgery. If you did can you let me know what that was like?
