If so, just curious if your shoulder allows you to play pain free for long periods of time, if you are limited to playing a certain number of sessions a week, and whether you need to take a few days off after a long session? Also, how long ago was your shoulder replacement surgery and how has it progressed since your surgery?
I’ve been 4-1/2 years since my surgery, and I am currently 63. I honestly feel like my shoulder is still improving and allowing me to play 99% pain free for longer periods as well as playing more sessions per week than I could a couple years ago. Currently I am playing 3-5 sessions per week, 2-4 hours per session. I always take off at least a couple days a week, which I feel my shoulder occasionally needs to fully recover.
Before any session, I still do about 25 minutes of a stretching/strengthening exercise routine for my shoulder, which I’ve been doing ever since my surgery. Occasionally I do experience small tweaks/setbacks with my shoulder that result in my taking 3-5 days off from playing, until I feel my shoulder gets back to 100%, which it always does.
Just curious as to whether any others on here deal with their pool playing following replacement surgery on your bridge shoulder, and your experience? Hopefully your experience has been as positive as mine has been, particularly compared to the degree of pain I had to endure playing pool before my surgery.
