In December of 2020, I had a reverse left shoulder replacement by Dr. Bartholomew. I was back to work in 5 weeks and playing golf in my league by April. The range of motion I achieved is more than my physical therapist expected.
In October of 2021, it became necessary to have the right shoulder replaced as well. Perhaps I have benefited from having gone through the procedure once before but my recovery the second time around has exceeded the first. I will return to work 3 weeks after surgery with a full range of motion excluding behind the back. I’m confident the behind-the-back range will be achieved in a few more weeks.
If you’re living with shoulder pain and missing out on the activities you enjoy don’t wait any longer. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Bartholomew and educate yourself on the benefits of a reverse shoulder replacement.
I can’t wait to golf in Florida this winter …… I may have to buy myself a new set of irons to celebrate my new swing!
