Have you been on biologics like enbrel, humera, xarjanz, steroids like methotrexate and Prednisone. Al's physical therapy,?

I’ve had both shoulders replaced in the last two years because of exactly what you’re describing. Looks like a rat has been taking bites out of your shoulder. It’s worth the surgery I believe, my first one went really well, the second one is almost a year and has been problematic. Possibly infected I have to go back in to get some tissue biopsies to see what’s going on. Do your homework on who the best replacement docs are. I don’t know where you live but I’m in Los Angeles and Itamura is the best here, he did mine.
