What is that exactly?? I am asking because I have had shoulder pain since I retired and I have put off getting anything done. Had XRays and they say it is arthritis but i need to get MRI and have a specialist look at it. Some days are worst than others. Had too many other medical problems but this one is the next on the list. Working construction for 42 years has taken its toll on my knees, back and now shoulders. Tough getting old. Oh how I used to think I was invinsible

She will be in my prayers.

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

John, this will explain better than I. As I understand it the take the ball and cup and reverse them. This relieves the pain but you will lose some movement.

How is Dee doing, Roy? With two bad shoulders, I may be looking at replacement one of these days, but probably not the reverse type.

Hug the corgi's for me!

Good News!

Can emphasize with you very much. Haven't been to the IAP for a few days because my wife went in on the 1st for the same surgery. Sitting in her hospital room now trying to enter this post on my Tracfon. Word is she gets to go home around two. Haven't read all the above posts, hope Dee is doing well.

BTW there's a great video animation of this type of surgery on the Mayo Clinic web site if anyone is interested.

Great to hear the good news!! It is amazing to picture one's limb essentially severed from the body at the joint, then reattached with new parts!

Now...LOOK OUT Roy, 'cause the next time you start 'acting out', Dee will be ready to smack you up along side your head a sufficient number of times, and with sufficient force, until you are rehabilitated :tongue:, and turn back from your wayward behavior!
