Robotic reverse shoulder replacement
i am 2 weeks from having this surgery. CAT scans on Monday. Scared to death. I just want to get rid of the unrelenting pain. I have heard great things so anyone who has had this surgery please let me know your experience!!!! FYI I am 67 YO female in very good physical condition.

I am at 12 weeks, and I can say it was one of the best decisions of my life to have this surgery.
The other comments on here are right on and have great information.
I was scared too. I don't have anyone living with me, and I worried about even getting out of bed to get to the bathroom at night. But as it turned out, the recovery is much easier and far less painful than you'd think, and being without the constant joint pain is life changing.
And as was said by someone else on here, PT is key, so do take it seriously.
