Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Share this Story

In 2001 had right knee done, 2nd knee in 2002. Iwas told its either a wheel chair or replacement. I chose the later. Dr. Laskin was my surgeon but he has passed on. In 2011 I had shoulder replacement due to a fall and severe arthritis. Dr Gulotta was the surgeon who operated. He told me that in 6 months I would be happy I had it done. Not so! I was happy in 6 weeks and was so scared to have it done but it was the best thing I ever did. Knees were wonderful results but it took about 6 months to appreciate what I went through. But shoulder replacement was a piece of cake and thanks to Dr. Gulotta (He's a great Doctor).
