A worn shoulder is not the end of an active life.
The deep ache. The broken nights. The coat you can no longer put on without wincing. Then a doctor says the word arthritis, and perhaps the word replacement, and you leave with more questions than answers.
This book answers them. In plain language, a shoulder surgeon explains what is happening inside your shoulder, why it hurts, and what can be done about it, from pacing, exercise and injections to the different kinds of joint replacement.
It will not replace the conversation with your surgeon. It will make that conversation easier, and the decision your own.
