how old were you when you did the surgery ?

A week or so before my 53 birthday. I am 60 now.

I had a hemi arthoplastie surgery back in 2008. I feel much better for it.

After decades of heavy lifting, I was bone on bone with the shoulder ball and socket in both shoulders. The cartilage simply wears thin. This results in large bone spurs that limits range of motion and causes great pain. Because I still wanted an active lifestyle I went to a specialist in the Copeland implant procedure. This is the “resurfacing” discussed earlier. It does allow you to continue to workout, albeit hopefully with lighter weights. My surgeon does have patients that continue to do heavy benches but I wouldn’t. It is a long recovery (1 year +). You can’t do both at once as you need a minimum of 3 months between the surgeries. I am about 8 months out from my second shoulder and am able to do most everything but not heavy plus I have eliminated overhead pressing movements because at the end of the day, like Gotgame said, I don’t want a revision surgery and it’s limitations for the rest of my life...

I was 46 years old. I’m 56 now. I couldn’t train for 6 months but that was before TRT. Once I got back to training ( I gradually increased the weight) there was hardly any pain at all.

Heads up with respect to insurance. If you are getting covered by insurance for this procedure make sure your doctor remains as vague as possible when interacting with the insurance company because resurfacing is considered “experimental” in their eyes. They typically would approve a total replacement but would not cover resurfacing. Very aggravating but that happened to me on my first shoulder.
