  1. 6 Tips for Recovering From Shoulder Replacement If you're thinking about shoulder replacement surgery, or if you're considering having one, now is the time to start preparing for it. You can prepare for both the surgery and the recovery. Replacement of the shoulder can solve many problems. The treatment might be right for you if you have a fracture or severe arthritis in your shoulder. Your existing shoulder joint will be replaced with artificial parts, including a metal ball, a stem, and a plastic socket. The following are a few things to keep in mind both before and after the procedure. 1.Get your health in order: To maximize your chances of a successful recovery, you should be in good health before you have your shoulder replaced. Losing weight or controlling long-term medical conditions, such as diabetes, are examples of this. 2.Arrange for help: The recovery from shoulder replacement surgery is going to be difficult. The first thing you'll need is someone to drive you home from the hospital. In the coming days and weeks, you'll also need help with daily tasks.

  2. 3.Work with a physical therapist: In the process of recovery, you will need the services of a physical therapist. You will begin gentle exercises under the supervision of the therapist. These will gradually strengthen your shoulder and increase its range of motion. 4.Manage your pain responsibly: After shoulder surgery, it is inevitable that you will experience some pain. Don't forget to take your pain medication as directed. You'll be able to cope better as you recover. However, it's important to be aware of the risks associated with becoming dependent on pain medication. 5.Exercise carefully: Taking part in the exercises that your physical therapist recommends will be an essential part of your recovery. However, you should take things slowly. Don't overdo it. Don’t lift anything heavier than a glass of water for a few weeks. 6.Take it easy on your arm: As your shoulder heals, it will need time to rest. It is one of the most important parts of your recovery. To avoid stressing your shoulder, you should avoid doing anything that will make it worse. Be careful when lifting heavy objects, and keep your shoulder from moving too much. Even simple tasks, like dressing or grooming, should be assisted.
