Shoulder replacement…..

[rmlovett1]

After many years of fighting the issue, (in ‘88 during my college baseball days, I had rotator cuff surgery) still working out daily for 25+ yrs, adjusting workouts around the pain, intermittent flare ups in pain, and recently…numbness in fingers while driving, eating, sleeping, etc….
I finally decided to see the Doc. 1 MRI and 1 nerve conduction test later….
I’ve been told to see a neurologist for full blown neuropathy evaluation, and my shoulder has many issues, all rotator cuff muscles are torn, pulled back tendons, and biceps tendon is in half also.
So Doc said… irreparable. Get the neuropathy in check, then decide if you can live with your shoulder as is until it no longer functions for normal daily activities, or get it replaced. I’ll be 54 next month, am in physically fit condition, take no medications, etc….
Wife said do it now while recovery will be relatively short/easy vs waiting till I’m over 60/70 (god willing)

Anyone that has had this done? Or any advice?
