My cousin in Canada  has had both done, one twice.   Long, difficult,  and PAINFUL recovery period. A friend who lives Lakeside had it a few years ago and said it was the worst thing he'd ever endured ( done in Guad by shoulder specialist).  Sorry.........

I broke a shoulder in 2008 with major complications.  An orthopedic surgeon from Guadalajara said I needed shoulder replacement surgery.   I did not accept that diagnosis and went for 2 other opinions.   What I needed was physical therapy.   I did that for 8 weeks and recovered with a little limited mobility but absolutely no pain.

I too broke my shoulder and was told replacement surgery was necessary. I also got a 2nd opinion, have been doing physical therapy and have gained nearly full mobility. Please get a second and maybe a third opinion before you proceed.

I am amazed at  the number of posters on this forum that have "amazing " experience s

Before doing any surgery,  look into the exercises and other info published by Brian Schiff, author of The Ultimate Rotator Cuff Training Guide and other shoulder related materials.

Following his methods can give amazing results and avoid surgery.      Not easy but better than the alternative.

Check it out fully as part of the overall process and due diligence.

Thank you  so much Virgo Lady.  I will do just that! The responses on this thread have given me second thoughts about surgery. So thank you all for your contributions.

Hi again Virgo Lady.  I went online ordered it in a download format and paid with PayPal.  The transaction went thru without a hitch but no book arrived . I looked in my download folder and it wasn't there. Since I have never before bought anything downloaded,  perhaps it is somewhere on my computer.  If you or anyone else can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. I am eager to start my rehab.

Sorry to hear it.     Best to both fully check your computer and also contact the website / provider of the book download to ask them for the file name and / or to resend it to you.      It is not a large PDF and could even be emailed if a download is an issue.

Thanks Virgo Lady,  I finally got an email today with a link to the download material and have it printed and ready to go.  Thanks again all who contributed to this thread and my decision to go this route.
