 My friend's husband had a shoulder replacement and is doing much better than she is with her rotator cuff surgery.             💪🏻

I have had both of my shoulders replaced - one in 2014 and one in 2015. Both went very well and I had immediate pain relief. Surgical techniques change over the years but an hour-long surgery seems very short - I think mine went 2 - 2.5 hours. I was in a sling for 6 weeks each time followed by several months of PT. 

I have been told that as far as joint replacements go, recovery from knee replacement is the most difficult, shoulder replacement is next, and then a hip replacement. I have had all of these replaced and found recovery from shoulder replacement to be the easiest. The biggest problem I had was trying to get a bra on which is impossible with one arm/hand, but my husband and I had some good laughs as he tried to hook my front-closing bras! But if your husband has the surgery he won't have to deal with that.

to the op: I don't have any answers for you but please let your DH know I'm thinking of him and wishing him well. I had 4 surgeries because of the labrums in my shoulder and it wasn't much fun and I was out of action for quite a while. Best of luck to him. And please let us know how he's doing.

He has to wait on surgery now because he just tested positive for Covid....so he can't see the 2nd opinion dr. We are both now isolated...good thing I am stocked up on groceries.
