If shoulders were as easy as knees I would have the left one done, I am skert...


FWIW. I've had one knee replacement and one conventional shoulder replacement. The shoulder recovery was much easier than the knee in my experience.

Here is an important caveat. The presurgery condition of the rotator cuff and tendons makes a huge difference in the time to recover. My rotator cuff was in nearly 100% good condition. If your surgery includes rotator cuff repair, or is a reverse shoulder replacement, your post surgery arm use will be more restricted and recovery will take longer.
