Has anyone had reverse shoulder replacement surgery?

Hello, I have had 5 previous back surgeries with fusions. I recently got a knee replacement 12/18/17. I am now having terrible back muscle spasms and sciatic nerve pain. I know it takes some getting used to but this is bad, Its hindering my recovery. I had to lie all day Monday because of this. Now coming up the steps it screamed at me. Its makes me yell out so much zinging pain.

I'm looking for anyone's experience dealing with SI joint pain. I've had problems with my SI joints for years and I've injections & radiofrequency ablations done. At this point nothing is helping.

One of my wife's friends just underwent a total knee replacement, and it was an “in by ten, out by six” outpatient procedure.

My husband told me that Pres. Trump said he’d like to do away with half of all pain meds use! I’ve been on pain meds off and on from 21 to mid 30’s since I had received approx. 20+ surgeries in that time. Then 20 years ago ruptured L-4 and L-5, L-5 S-1. Pain was unbearable . I’ve been on them straight since then , Oct 21st at 1:10 pm ,1997. You don’t forget the date that changed your life. I’ve been treated like a drug seeker all my life on meds. Once and awhile you’ll find a dr who knows pain… read more

Have never had them...but Dr wants to start treatment.

I assume I had tmj disfunction but an xray was negative. The dentist said it IS tmj and that braces would fix the problem. But they are charging over 5,000 dollars and my insurance company won't cover it because they said it was cosmetic. My teeth are not crooked. I would only do it to get pain relief. Anyone know what I should do?
