[QUOTE="5575, post: 372170, member: 410"] At 47 "8 years ago" I was told I needed shoulder replacement, but the Dr. at bone and joint said to hold off as long as I could since they only last about 10-12 years before needing to be replaced again. So they gave me my first ever cortisone shot, my God after living in daily pain 4-8 out of 10 for 20 years I wish I had went in years ago! Archery "shooting almost daily my adult life and pulling more weight than I needed to" had did a number on my right shoulder..bad. But my first shot lasted 2 years before I had a single all day flare up. Now they last about a year, just got mine today actually. My question is, do these knee replacements last longer than a shoulder? Reason being I can't do allot of things I used to do, archery is out of the question. Pitching jigs and jig raps is darn tough as well. Anything overhead is a job for my left arm. Do I wait another 5-10 years or do I just say heck with it and go and get it done? Cat, cold snaps used to kick my ass! Was extremely hard to even get me pants on on those days. [/QUOTE]
