Shoulder replacement @ 44

[5.0]

Seems to be a lot of this going around tid lately. As stated I'm 44 and getting a replacement in about 6wks. I've documented a couple past shoulder surgeries here and this is what was expected after the last one. I'm about 20yrs young for this and I will really have to focus on making these new parts last as long as possible. On a good note my surgeon said possible complications from surgery/healing will be reduced due to age. 6wks in a sling post op and then hopefully rite into p.t. One question I have for recovery is what's better and why, bpc&tb or hgh?

IGF-1 Lr3.......IGF-I plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair. In studies using systemic administration of IGF-I or GH+IGF-I on surgical repairs, GH alone did not result in any significant improvement while GH+ IGF-1 did . So add some Lr3 to it (50mcg/d) to you GH. Might also ask the surgeon to do PRP after the surgery.

Best of luck to you!

Why limit yourself? Use them all.

Cash flow. Also I would like to keep injections/mixing to a minimum since I will be a one armed bandit and don't have anyone to assist me.

Haha. I kind of knew the answer when I asked the question. All that shit gets pretty expensive when you add it all up. GH is actually a cheaper option when you think about it, considering a kit at 2 iu a day will last 50 days. BPC and TB for 50 days will cost more than the GH.

You MUST use inset glenoid technology. The standard hardware will not last a weight lifter. Do your own research to know what's up. Check out my older thread.

My Total Shoulder Replacement experience.

It's a long read, but helpful I hope. In January this year, I finally had the surgery. So far, I can't be more pleased with the outcome. I am convinced it mostly is a result of a great surgeon. If you are in Southern California, I can't recommend more strongly Dr. Roger Sohn, website...

This information is awesome! I wasn't aware of a study that fit our demographic. So encouraging.

Getting the rTSA on my left on 1/12. My right may be a option for the resurface. There is a ortho in town that does them and has had great outcomes, he is a former BB. My colleague the retired female PL that had her rTSA done about a year ago continues to do well with lifting, not competitive but with weights I'd certainly be fine with now and going forward. Two essentials if you don't have much help, a Bidet toilet seat and flexible shower head with extension hose. Actually the heated Bidet is pretty nice regardless. X-mas gift from the Mrs.

24 hrs post op and feeling better than after my 2 other shoulder ops. Took 5 hrs and was a success the surgeon said. All I've got to say is they're very stingy with pain meds post op.... thanks junkies

Good luck. been down this road with both shoulders, 3 years + since last one and still trying to get my strength back up.
Pain meds were VERY stingy lol bless the black market and stocking up.
Hope you heal as fast as possible and have great results.
