Susanne 5 Replacements and Going Strong

It sounds like you're doing well after the surgery. Is this range of motion greater than what you had before surgery?
I do hope the pain lessens for you, though.

@Jamie. Yes much greater before could only raise my arm half way and couldn't reach around back. Still have to wait 4 weeks for PT. I do passive exercises 3x day. Just the throbbing and at times a stabbing pain if I do too much. Have to keep in sling at all times for another 4 weeks
I'll be the one at beach with the weird tan lines
Hope everyone healing

@Legin. I'm never prone. Can't sit still for too long a time. Hoping a few days at the beach with my sister and nieces will do the trick, hence weird tan lines. Only problem will be holding beach chair in one hand and cocktails in the other
Can you imagine!!!!

I sure can but I'm sure you will manage. I'm a none prone person too always moving, yet I go v v brown quickly hence my school nickname being very non PC these days. Have a grand time on the beach.

Loving pt on shoulder. Can't go wrong with massaging of shoulder neck and back
I'm in heaven. He's amazed at the range of motion I have for just 6 weeks out. I can lift my arm straight out unassisted but not any higher yet. All in good time

Hi Susanne,
I'm so sorry you've been through so many bad joints. Me too....both knees will have to be replaced and my jaw too! That one really has me scared since the surgery isn't very common and the results are mixed. I too have been told it's just osteoarthritis. Hard to believe it can hit so many joints as I have it in my spine and also in shoulders but not too bad yet. Nobody, reaching back a few generations has this so I guess I'm the first in the family line. I am grateful that I really had 46 good years. My knees went bad at 30 but didn't really start hurting everyday until I hit 46. Even my jaw has been good, never giving it a second thought until about 2 months ago. I wanted to die when the oral surgeon did full xrays and told me "you have moderate arthritis in both jaws". I cried all the way home. I can't sleep as I'm so worried with what's to come. I still have 8yrs left of work before I can early retire. Anyway I'm just ranting now but I was surprised to see that you too have had multiple joints destruct and the diagnosis was osteo and not rheumatory. In a way rheumatory has better drugs aimed at slowing the progression but I know their plight is a struggle. Hope your shoulder is behaving. Oh yes, I'm a Kansas City native. Not sure if you're watching the World Series or if you're a Yankee fan. Take care.

Dord6712. I'm so sorry to hear all that you are going thru as well. Jaw sounds really interesting what do they do for that
In a special Ed pre school tcher. Really rough kids so I think from over 20 years restraint and putting kids in holds wore out all my cartilage
Thankfully replacements were available. My hip dislocated at work and fell in ice at work too so I was able to go on Workmans comp for theses. You can look into social security disability something I will be checking out soon as I don't think I can last too long at this job. Went back after my shoulder replacement 4 months later and surprised they didn't fire me yet. But just wking for the insurance. Otherwise I'd be long gone
Good luck with everything. Keep me posted. If you need to vent feel free
Oh and yes always rooting for the home team
