Aug. 17, 2008 4glove2 1 posts | Shoulder joint replacement Is there anyone out there that is actively playing Senior Softball that has had a throwing shoulder joint replaced? I'd like to know what to expect, and if I can continue to play softball. |

All seemed to think that throwing overhand afterwards was pretty much out of the question. It's also a long, slow rehab -- the advice was to hold out as long as possible. (The doctor/friend did think that I could play golf after 9-12 months.) Good luck -- I'd love to hear other folks' takes/experiences. |
