How Do I Know If I Need A Shoulder Replacement?
If nonsurgical options have been exhausted, shoulder replacement surgery might be necessary. Signs you may be a candidate for this procedure include:
- Persistent, significant pain or swelling in or around your shoulder joints
- Limited range of motion or weakness in one or both of your shoulders
- Difficulty with routine motions and activities, such as reaching for objects, getting dressed, sleeping or driving a car
- Nonsurgical interventions (medications, physical therapy) do not relieve symptoms over time
- You have had prior surgery on your shoulder that has failed to relieve your symptoms
Ultimately, the best way to know if a shoulder replacement is right for you is to visit an orthopedic shoulder specialist.
