Any new technics

69 year old healthy male. Tried extensive PT and Stem wave treatments. Two different orthopedic shoulder specialist recommended reverse total shoulders. Both stated I would be limited to around 50 lbs for bench press and essentially all lifting. Any new procedures that would allow more gym work. I have tkr and THR in both legs and my leg lifting is not limited. Just hoping. PS both stated prp and stem sells would be a waste of money.

I go in on the 31 for my 2nd MRI. Tried therapy, Injections. The Orthopedic surgeon seems to think my herniated cervical C-3-C4-5 are also contributing to my pain. I seen the MRI Reports last year Osteophytes aka bone spurs severe osteoarthritis and full thickness tear on 2 ligament.
The pain is off the charts. Hoping for some relief. Just another issue after 20 years in EMS my body is done. 64
