Shoulder Replacement

Stantonrose

Fife, Scotland

Hi all you lovely people, who keep me going when I get down.

I had a shoulder replacement over two years ago, I have seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, it has not gone according to plan, where I still have a lot of pain and feel my joint slipping, my orthopaedic surgeon had mentioned if it does not settle I may need to have a reverse shoulder replacement, that just gives me serious anxiety.........

Has anyone had a shoulder replacement then needed to have the reverse replacement? If so what was the outcome? Thank you
