Total Shoulder replacment?

well, they superglued, screwed, nailed, and I think duct-taped my scapula to hold it together.

If that's any indication/comparison of how bad the shoulder could be, DON'T DO IT.

&^%$, even BREATHING hurt.

My brother had his done. You're right, the technology isn't quite where hips are, but the point is to eliminate chronic pain. If you have a good surgeon, this should be the outcome.
Once it gets to the point where you can't sleep at night because you hurt all the time, it looks a lot more attractive.
