Well got the first of 2 done. I have arthritis in both shoulders. They replaced the left one yesterday (full replacement). Will do the right one later this year. Hope to get a little riding mid-summer.

Heal quick !
Speedy recovery to you.Quote:

It's usually done when there is too much damage to the rotator cuff and you would then run the risk of dislocating the shoulder too easily. The downside is that you lose range of motion compared to a standard or non replaced (OEM) shoulder.Quote:

Our thoughts and prayers go with you for quick healing. :bowdown:

Well I did my 8 week check up with the Ortho Doc. He was very pleased with my progress. He gave me some great news also. So we rushed home and jumped on the Spyder and took a ride (a short one, but a ride all the same).
Here is my new shoulder
:clap::clap::clap: .....Glad to hear this .... thanks for letting us know :thumbup:..... Mike :2excited:Quote:
