Severe Arthritis

Hello,

Can you get severe progression of osteoarthritis in just 5 months..of the shoulder..to the point of needing a total shoulder done? I had a torn rot. cuff. surgery in June 2011, then no better so a bicep tentomy was done in Nov. 11..pain still there in upper bicep..no better now Doc says severe progressional arthritis and I need a total shoulder done. Is there such a thing? What is it called?

Thanx.

Hi,

Thanx for answering. You take this for severe arthritis? I am on Loratab everyday now. I want to find out why this is happenening so quickley so am getting a second opinion first.

I honsetly don't know if the medical marg. is legal in NY state. Will see what 2nd doc says. Also suffer from fibomylagia which leaves me in constant pain.

Thanx.
