More Surgery
Hello Everyone
Hope you are all staying positive and as well as can be. I’m waiting for my hip replacement and I have just been told I need a full shoulder replacement. The consultant was very good but could you tell me a bit more about it? Could anyone who has had this tell me about post operative and what help would I need dressing etc. also apart from morphine what medications did you all find helpful,as I’m in a lot of pain now.
Thankyou in advance.

Hi @AnnR
Thank you for posting on the helpline forum. I’m sorry you are in so much pain. I wish you well with your hip and shoulder replacement surgery.
If you haven’t already done so, you may also wish to post on Life with Arthritis so that others who have been through this can offer their insight and suggestions.
You can find out more about both surgeries here:
You are very welcome to call us on our freephone helpline: 0800 5200 520 so you can talk things through with one of our helpline team.
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes
