They're incredibly rare, at least in my practice. It's way less than 1%. But I've never had an actual nerve injury or seen one. I've seen one of the patients who referred me to outside surgeons. I have seen carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel-type things where you get swelling down the arm, which puts some pressure on those nerves. It…
This can be a lot of reasons in our practice. Specializing in shoulders, seeing thousands for years. The three most common diagnoses for shoulder pain are, number one, rotator cuff pathology, which is tendinitis or tearing of the rotator cuff. Which one is it?

We start early active motion. People don't get stiff after surgery. But you still need to wait a couple of months to strengthen. So, believe it or…
It's not. I specialize in shoulder replacements. I do 250 a year. Out of all the surgeries that I do on the shoulder, it's the least painful in the early postoperative phase. During those first couple weeks, most of our patients come in after surgery 10 to 12 days out and feel better than before the operation. They already already…
