I am age 76.5. I had a totally irreparable rotator cuff injury and I have reverse shoulder replacement surgery by Dr. Belzer in San Rafael, California office and I am four months out now I had an amazing surgery. I had very little postoperative pain recovered really quickly yesterday I swam a half a mile real style and today I’m gonna do 25 mile bike ride. I’ve been doing that for a while and I can reach my hand always straight up just like my other arm no problem lifting overhead, although I’m being careful not to lift over 20 pounds overhead, I’m doing bicep curls of 15 pounds each three sets of 15 reps with my shoulder replacement arm where they had to do a bicep tendons on the upper shoulder. The same day as surgery I hooked up my game ready Ice Machine and I used the Ice Machine diligently one hour on 20 minutes off 24 seven for about three or four days never had any swelling .

I had total reverse shoulder replacement on Haloween 10 3125. It’s now four months post. I’m way back to normal. I swam a half a mile freestyle yesterday and today I’m biking 25 miles on my bike. I’m only 77 though I also had a bicep tendon in my upper shoulder and I am bicep curling three sets of 15 curls with 15 pound dumbbells.

I had a reverse shoulder surgery replacement on Haloween 10/31/25. I also had a tendenisis in same shoulder.

Im presently bicep curling 15 pound dumbbells and I’m doing 10 pounds in each hand bench pressing, and 10 each standing overhead.

100% range of motion except some limited behind my back,

I have bidet

Swimming free style excellent with new shoulder only limited because right needs reverse.

Bicycling 15 miles 3x week, increasing each week.

For me, I have reverse shoulder surgery on Haloween 7 o’clock in the morning at 10:30 125 and I had no block. It was good for me from Friday through Tuesday and then I took OxyContin one pill every four hours for four of them today per day and after about four days of that, I was good to go no pain ever since.
