First shoulder replacement

Hi. Not posted for a few weeks. Been preparing for my shoulder replacement which is going ahead on Mar.14th. I have every confidence in my surgeon who speaks excellent English (I live in France) and has explained it all clearly. He has to do a reverse procedure and also as the joint is so badly damaged I have to have a bone graft. Anyone else out there had this done? I know I have a couple of months recovery and have to be very patient. As well as dealing with this I've had an ongoing pain in my groin where I had my first hip replacement. That was my 1st one which was 15yrs ago and worries me if it my be a sign of wear. Again anyone out there had these signs? Hopefully I will have a physio after my shoulder op who can help me with this too. I do struggle with the language but then it is my choice to be living here so have to manage. I will now go through all the other forums to see if I can help anyone with their questions as I know how much it's helping me.

No shoulder replacement, goldengirl, but I did have a bone graft with my knee revision. The result? Perfect. No problems at all. I hope yours is the sameIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

In the absence of any members who've had this op I've found former threads which might help you. I hope so. https://arthritiscareforum.org.uk/search.php?keywords=shoulder+replacement&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=SearchIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
