Wife needs reverse shoulder replacement

[sinclair1]

Anyone had this surgery? I had never heard of reversing the joint.

Hope it works out for her

I’ve had both of my shoulders replaced in the past seven months. No problems. Just do the physical therapy.

You do the standard? They are doing the reverse joint on her. Cup on the bone.

I had the reverse surgery about 3 years ago. It feels great. Do the PT and she will be fine. It's nice to be pain free(in that shoulder).

Had a regular replaced just over 2 yrs ago, life changing. Do the pt! REPEAT, DO THE PT!!!!!! Be observe about it.

Agree! Reverse shoulder replacement? I have never heard of it either. Medical science comes up with a lot of innovations no doubt about it.

She'll be tuff on lefty''s now .

I had reverse shoulder replacement in both of my shoulders. Dr couldn’t do a conventional surgery because I had no rotator cuff left in either shoulder. I had four rotator surgeries that kept failing.

Trying to decide how much time to take off and care for her. Looking at one week, then a week of half days. You think she could get around the house alone by week three?
Thanks

People heal differently and deal with pain differently. She will need someone for a couple of weeks and after that she’ll need someone to drive her to pt. Normally four to six weeks before driving.

I drove myself to all my PT treatments, but I only had one shoulder done. Drove left handed.

I had that same surgery 3 years ago. Hard to reach behind me to put on a belt or scratch my back so I put the belt through my belt loops before hand. Little discomfort at times but nothing I can't live with.

If you drove a stick-shift you get bonus points IMHO.

Her arm won’t be looking good for a couple of weeks. That’s the bruises from surgery

 

[buckmanmike]

I had bruising too. Looks like they glued her up. Don't forget, PT, PT and more PT.

I will file a lawsuit if my wife comes out looking like @trad bow.

Trad Bow, they claimed a 4 inch cut and more towards the front ? I won’t show her this picture.

Thanks for the post

Both my shoulders looked the same. Don’t know for certain but the bruises are inevitable.
