What Should You Do When Your Shoulder Pain Becomes Too Much?

Perhaps you’ve had worsening shoulder pain for some time and are wondering if you should consider surgery – but you’ve been putting off making the decision. After all, no one looks forward to surgery, and many people are confused about when it’s the right time or what to expect afterwards.

Or perhaps your doctor has recommended total shoulder replacement surgery for you – and you want to know more about the procedure and the recovery process before you go ahead with it.

Making The Right Decisions About Shoulder Replacement Surgery is designed to provide detailed answers to the many questions that may be on your mind as you weigh the pros and cons of surgery.

For example:

• What happens if I decide NOT to have surgery?
• How do I know if I’m a good candidate for shoulder replacement surgery?
• Are there any other treatment options I should consider?
• Is there more than one type of shoulder replacement surgery?
• What is reverse shoulder replacement? What is shoulder hemiarthroplasty?
• What happens during the actual surgery?
• I have a severely damaged rotator cuff. Will this prevent me from having surgery?
• Are there any risks associated with shoulder replacement? What if I get an infection?
• How much pain will I experience right after surgery?
• How much improved mobility can I expect after my surgery?
• What activities will I be able to perform? What activities should I avoid?
• What happens during the shoulder rehabilitation program?
• Will it be difficult for me to sleep after surgery? Can I drive?
• Once I’ve recovered from surgery, will I be free of shoulder pain?
• How long will my artificial shoulder last?
• What happens if the shoulder dislocates at some point following surgery?

Making The Right Decisions About Shoulder Replacement Surgery addresses these and other questions. And that’s just the start. In page after page of this comprehensive report, we hone in on your most serious concerns as you prepare for shoulder surgery.

• Are you a candidate for total shoulder replacement or would a reverse shoulder replacement – also called a reverse prosthesis – be more beneficial? Dr. McFarland compares the two procedures and explains what you should expect during surgery and recovery.
• You’ll learn about state-of-the-art arthroscopic procedures that offer a less invasive alternative to total shoulder surgery: debridement, microfracture chondroplasty, arthroscopy and capsular release, and synovectomy.
• Shoulder replacement milestones – where will you be in 3 months … 6 months … 12 months after surgery?
• Advance planning for your shoulder replacement surgery, including financial issues – insurance, after-care – and home improvements that will ease your transition back home.

• What physical activity do you have your patients perform immediately following surgery?
