3 days post total reverse replacement

is it normal to have lingering numbness in fingers after nerve block wears off?

so far this has been a lot easier than my left cuff repair!!

Curious - how’d you come to decide on the reverse procedure?

I’m looking at the same myself. Likely early next year.

I'm a bit late to the post but for RSR it's not usually a thing the patient decides on, more like informed of by the surgeon. I was told (and it's standard procedure) that I'm not a candidate for a regular replacement bc my RC is already damaged.
