3 weeks ago i fractured left arm distal humerus in arm that had shoulder replacement 6 years ago, with prosthesis inserted. fracture is below prothesis. if the current cast does not help bones to heal, doctors are talking about major surgery, with possibility of many problems, problems like nerve damage, infections, etc. the situation is that shoulder replacement must be removed and new shoulder replacement and fracture surgery done. 2 doctors have told me that this would be a last resort and are fearful of complications. i am so frightened....has anyone had a similar situation. will find out more tomorrow, right now i am in a caste to elbow, in sling with forearm and hand swollen and sometimes numb. plus arm in caste clicks.....does this sound familiar to anyone
