Shoulder Replacement Surgery

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭

My RA doctor recommends shoulder replacement due to severe joint damage, so I would like to know the personal experience of anyone who has one. This will help me make a major medical decision. I have a few questions as follows.
1. Is it worth it?
2. Post-surgery complications and recovery time
3. How long does it last? This is because I am 50y old and I do not know whether I should wait.

Thank you!
