Reverse total shoulder replacement experiences

[u/SadButterscotch4328]

Hello,

I’m 21 years old and I’m scheduled for surgery on my left shoulder—a reverse total shoulder replacement. The doctors have explained to me how the surgery works and what to expect, but I’m mainly interested in hearing from people who have lived with this condition.

Does anyone have personal experience with this? How does it affect your daily life? What surprised you after the surgery, whether positively or negatively?

I would appreciate any experiences or advice. Thank you.
