Subscribed. I have broad shoulders but they are poorly secured to the superstructure. Bad genetics. Compile in 50 years of injuries and I am working around a non functioning left shoulder that is 80% frozen and filled with arthritis. When driving I can't lift my left hand to the top of the steering wheel without help from my right. I have had 2 consults over the last 10 years - both saying the only option is replacement. I have had several cortisone shots in that 10 year span but they only relieve pain for a couple weeks so I stopped getting them.

This year I spent $3.5K in deductible costs for an out patient endoscopy and am thinking I should get my shoulder replaced before my deductible resets. I would love to be able to go through life without chronic shoulder pain and be more physically active.
