After watching my dad go through 5 surgeries with two different surgeons on his right shoulder over a 5 year period I will happily deal with any pain necessary. Between his foot, knee, hip, back and shoulder I’m guessing I’ve spent 20 days in OR waiting rooms.
I’ve watched him and three Uncles have joint replacements at 4 different hospitals and not one of them has came out better than they went in.
