Just got my surgery date for a left reverse shoulder replacement. It is on May 2, 2022.
I recently found this site with it’s wealth of information.
I have had ongoing problems with this shoulder starting probably 10 years ago with a fall and rotator cuff tears. I did see the surgeon and he indicated rotator repair surgery but said I could wait until it was worse. Having had 2 repair on my right shoulder and knowing the pain involved I was in no rush. I waited about 5 years but too long as he said it couldn’t be repaired. A year ago the pain was excruciating so back to the surgeon where he indicated the reverse surgery was my only option. Fast forward to now and the pain is minimal so I really hesitated to go ahead. I do have issues with it though so decided to go ahead. I am hoping that I am making the right decision.
