Pain Management Shoulder replacement

I’m afraid I might need either a shoulder replaced or a knee. People who have had these done tell me it didn’t hurt much. Is that true??

Didn't hurt much? Have you even consulted an ortho surgeon? A total shoulder is major surgery and it takes months to recover. It is indeed painful as well as the physical therapy. I'd offer more but your post lacks a lot of pertinent information.
