Well today was the day, the 5% chance of it being a reverse became 100% when surgeon opened me up.

For those that said back off, rehab, let heal well. Go for it I did and waited so long the only option was reverse. 2 totally shot rotator cuffs and one surgeon said was hanging by a thread! (MRI read by three different doctors all thought were ok but couldn’t be certain due to presence of metal from original injury 30 years ago)

How did I even function you ask? My wife asked surgeon same question, my body figured out how to function without them, but the cost was severe arthritis with deteriorating bones to point if I waited a reverse might not have been possible.

The human body can adapt in amazing ways, but those adaptations come with a price.

As shooters outdoors people and hunters we all rely on our shoulders. If injure then see a specialist, don’t ignore and rehab yourself… just advice from someone wondering when nerve block will wear off and pain set in.
