Total Shoulder Replacement

Phyllis61

Hi 👋 everyone

I have had Arthritis for many years in my shoulders, 6 yrs ago I got a right total shoulder replacement and I'm awaiting my left. My first was unsuccessful and I have very limited range, I have no choice but to get my left one done because of the pain, how are you guys coping with the pain and limited sleep.

Hello @Phyllis61 and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that you will find that as well.

I understand that you have arthritis in your shoulders and have had one replaced not very successfully and are getting the other one done and looking at how to manage pain. Our website contains a lot of useful information and I would recommend having a look around. To help I've put a couple of links in below which might be of interest.
