Has anyone here any experience of cycling with an artificial shoulder joint please?
I’ve a totally cream crackered shoulder ( osteo arthritis, no cartilage left at all ) . Currently just on pain killers to ride ( anti inflammatories had nasty side effects, so dropped those) .
Original consultant said that he would replace the joint except that a replacement joint would not be suitable for cycling, and he’d prefer me to stay active and try to manage the pain.
However, pain is getting worse over last year or so, and I’m becoming more accustomed to the pain killers, and am very aware of problems if I over-use them, so I putting a replacement back in the possible considerations box.
Any experiences would be gratefully received.
