Double shoulder replacement

[mslmn]

Hell no, that thing is so damn smooth..I want the other one replaced and there isn’t a damn thing wrong with it!

Last summer I was told by the Dr. that the only thing that could be done was a partial knee replacement in both knees. He mentioned about it affecting my training. So I said "I'll pass".

Like I said..I had absolutely no choice in mine..it was crushed and shredded to shit.

I accepted, after I woke up, that I would never be the same..but once I got moving I realized it became my stronger leg really quick

So the ortho just told me my arthritis is at the "end of the road" and the only thing left for me is double replacement. The problem is I'm only 46 and the equipment only lasts around 20 years so there's a good chance I'll need it again in the future. Does anyone have any experience with this? If I get the surgery, will I ever be able to lift the same again? Or is the gym as I know it over with?

I complete replacement surgery on my right shoulder. I had it October 20th 2023. Stryker inc built the shoulder parts. I am 37. They put a new bone, new ligaments, tendons all of the above! It was the best decision I made. I tried to rehab and do other things but it always hurt. It’s been 10 months and I’m doing pull-ups, squats, light military, burpees, power cleans, ect. It still pops here and there but that can go on for a while.
They have a new system where the MRI sends images to Stryker and the part is custom build specifically for your socket. It’s not like it was 10 years ago. I say go for it

Yep the 3D imaging has really helped. I’m having a partial replacement using Arthosuface stemless implant. It’s just like the Stryker hardware. I’m 46 still very strong with no soft tissue damage. I just want to be able to shoulder press, incline and bench again. How is your training now? Everything still good?

I still have a few issues on shoulder press or bench if I’m not real warm.. it aches and stuff but I’m benching 245 for 15 reps, doing dips with 40lb kettlebell around my waist for 10s.. it’s still weak fully extended but there was so much damage to mine

Wow that our be God send for me. I can’t lower the bar on bench, I cant do anything pressing overhead. I can still flat press the 100’s for sets of 10 so no soft tissue damage. I’m seeing a top-notch doctor in Charlotte who has cut on me four times prior And used to be the Carolina Panthers orthopedic specialist. I also have an amazing physical therapist who worked with the Panthers who was here local, and recommended him many many years ago. How long did you stay in a sling? And how was your pain level the week after?
Thanks so much for responding

Honestly I was in prison so I had no painkillers anyway but pain was a minimum.. I was doing squats and lunges in a week, pushing stuff in 3 months.. I was really surprised how little pain there was.. worst part was wiping with the left hand lol.. I was blessed.. the prison used the same doctor I used before I was locked up.. before surgery I was doing bench and stuff just fine, couldn’t do pull-ups. I was struggling on everything else besides bench.. no dips, no curls, nothing.. but I could bench.. it hurt all the time but I was able to do it.. good luck to ya! GOD BLESS YOU
