after shoulder replacement, reverse replacement & cervical fusion I am no better
Posted , 1 user is following.
Total shoulder replacement in 2014, reverse in 2015 & cervical fusion in 2016. Doctor says he will not go back & do anymo surgery, just do more PT, & home exercise ,Pilates, acupuncture or whatever alternatives I can find. I take 3 norco daily which barely. Helps. (Sorry my computer is acting strange). I live in Michigan & heard that I should go to a very good orthopedist at Henry Ford hospital for another opinion. I am only 64 & want to enjoy my retirement but all I do is go to doctors or sit& watch tv. Luckily my son lives with me and cooks, cleans,
I don't know if it's my neck or shoulder. So depressed, I go to a therapist. I just finished more PT & they said I have reached my plateau so now I am on my own. The pain doctor wants me off the meds but I am in much pain. I have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis both genetic. Scared to have more surgery & can hardly afford anymore.

Hi Jane ~
We have a lot in common. I, too, live in MI and I'm curious about many of what you talked about. If I have your permission, I'd like to send you and private message?

Jane, you can start up your posting either in "chat" or there are several forums addressing "shoulder problems". In the "search" just put in Shoulders and it will give you a gamut of places to start.
I hope to hear from you
