I had my right shoulder repaired about 20 years ago, The operation went well and I was pain-free for about twenty years, then my shoulder began to be very painful again. My left shoulder became very painful about ten years ago. I was given physio and injections into the joint, but this didn't help so I saw a specialist, after more injections he decided I needed an operation. I had a scan done which showed arthritis in the shoulder joint and the shoulder only wanted cleaning out. I was operated on but without my knowledge, it was done by a trainee surgeon who did the operation under the guidance of a trained surgeon. After the operation, my shoulder was much worse. When I went back to see the surgeon he wouldn't examine me and said there was nothing more he could do for me. After months of constant pain, I was sent to see another surgeon. I had another scan done and this scan showed a 30mm rotator cuff tear, snapped tendons and a snapped bicep tendon. I was again operated on. After the operation, the surgeon said there wasn't much he could do for me as there had been too much damage done in my previous operation. I eventually managed to find another surgeon who said he could do a shoulder replacement on my left and right shoulders. He said he would start with the left shoulder. That was four years ago and because of health problems, it has been postponed four times. I now have a date for the first operation, that is if nothing else goes wrong. Nobody should have to suffer as I have.
Great educational video! I am currently a PA student and will be scrubbing in on my first total shoulder tomorrow. This is a great overview of the process. Thank you!
