Wondering if anyone (I’m sure a few) has had shoulder replacement surgery? Mine is coming in 6 weeks
Doctor says 20-25 lb max on repaired arm, does anyone know if this translates to recoil as well? I asked and said I could shoot but the recoil question stumped him. Are my big bore heavy hitter days done? (.338, .375,30-06?)
Your heavy hitters are done, yes. Fortunately my left shoulder was the damaged one and underwent the reverse replacement. I have about 40% use of my left arm at best.
It's better than no arm function, which was the alternative, but the pain level never gets below 6 and is usually 7-8. One of the best did my surgery. He's a shoulder specialist for the US Ski Team.
I had to quit a lot of the hunting I enjoyed all my life. A fall down a chukar mountain and landing on my left shoulder would render it permanently useless.
