I already have too much business between you and Wilbur's estate. My brother had full replacement 3 or 4 years ago. He was in a lot of pain for a long time. According to him it was much worse than his regular shoulder pain. Last time I saw him was 2 years ago and he was doing great with his shoulder by that time.

Longjohn ★ Posted June 21, 2019 Share #11 Posted June 21, 2019 I was swimming laps last year with a lady about my age. I told her I just had shoulder surgery. She said she had a total shoulder replacement and wonders why she put it off for so long. Praying for a great outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can work from home after that and once released to drive (4 weeksish) go back to work in office. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zealot Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share #25 Posted July 18, 2019 They told it it would be a 3.5” incision. I think they missed that a bit. 21 staples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s kinda what I’m hearing from others who’ve had shoulder surgeries. So, I’m keeping my expectations low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
