Hi everyone! wow it's been a long time. I just had a question for everyone.
I was wondering if anyone had looked into a shoulder replacement?
I ask this because since my shoulder socket is not formed properly it tends to dislocate occasionally. I was also wondering if it would give my arm more movement. My other question is if my arm would still get fatigued in the shoulder area.
If anyone can offer any advice that would be great. Thanx bunches

Re: shoulder replacement
Hi Erica,
I dont have any advice for you but wanted to wish you the best! I hope that you are able to find some relief. Have you talked with doctors about a shoulder replacement? I am curious what they say about it.
Keep me posted on what you do.
I wish you the best!!!

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Oh my... 27? It seems like yesterday when you told us all about saving M & M 's in your hand for later in the day.
Adult/obpi now have a private message board at UBPN besides this one. If you want to be added to that one please send me just your log in name at KathM@ubpn.org
Hope all is well with you.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.
