Detached ligament in shoulder

I had a displaced Rotary Cuff joint quite a few years ago which was so painful, to make matters worse I then fell on that shoulder and shattered the shoulder joint completely the surgeon I saw said it was not in my best interests to have a replacement shoulder joint as it was so badly damaged and surgery would not make any difference.
I have lived with the discomfort ever since it has weakened my right arm and now I cannot use it to its full potential,I can still feel the bits of bone in my upper arm & shoulder area but have learnt to live with the discomfort.

glammanannathat sounds awful - so painful and difficult to live with.
Suzie - eldest son had that problem. He had the operation and seems fine now. I had similar and left it, with limited range of movement. no pain now though.

Thanks for replies. I’ll see what the surgeon has to say. Wonder how long I’ll have to wait for appointment ?
