Hi Lynnra, when I get a cortisone shot from my rheumatologist she extracts a couple of tubes of liquid!! It is amazing. I hobble in tonher office and can walk out a few minutes later pain free. Finally, I have to do the TKR though because I’ve been bone on bone for years. My surgery will be 4-18th. Try the cortisone shot. When you’ve had a year pass after your TKR you can think about your shoulder surgery. Good luck.

Lynnra I’ve been having some shoulder pain to. The last time my Reumatologist put cortisone shots in, it really helped. I had one replaced in 2013 and they told me it would last about 6 to 8 years. I fell and broke that shoulder and lived with the pain for six years. It got so bad I couldn’t move it. I didn’t know it was broken because I had been having so much pain in it anyway. I had a complete replacement including the bone that attached to it in my arm. I did great. The doctor told me to expect lots of pain after surgery but I didn’t have it. I’d suffered so long it was a relief. I hope you get relief soon. 🤗 🤗

Thank you, Lynny! I just found out that it's bone on bone and it just makes me so sad. I just had a TKR and not wanting surgery again, so soon. I appreciate you and your quick response. Have a great, painfree day. Lynn
