Has anyone any experience of shoulder replacement surgery. I am due to have one in early February but I'm feeling nervous about it. I have already had a knee replacement 7 years ago so i know the drill but....... ?
Thanks :???:

I have had a " shoulder replacement " , in my right shoulder. I was in the worse pain Iv'e ever had, a real nightmare.
Anyway, had it done 3 years ago, and have had no problems since.
They shave the inside of your shoulder joint, and replace the lining of the joint. The operation can be a real success these days. I was out of hospital within a one night stay.
For 48 hours, it is very painfull afterwards, and you have to have morphine overnight.
You will have to wear a sling for about 3 weeks, and do exercises for about 6 weeks . Good Luck Alanthemanc0 -
Just wanted to wish you luck.
Alan has given you great advice there

Thanks for all your good wishes. The op is being done on 9th February. Ugh. I am having what is called a total shoulder replacement. It's 4 days in hospital 6-8 weeks in a sling & the heaviest thing I can lift is a cuppa for several
Months.
I had my knee done 7 years ago so I suppose it will be 3 another months before I can drive. But if it helps to get rid of the pain it will be worth it.
Roll on the summer I need some heat on my old bones lol

It's a big thing, having an operation like that, but think of the long-term benefit: it has to be worth the short-term inconvenience. I hope it all goes smoothly for you - keep in touch and let us know how you get on! I wish you well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0
