We do not have an article on our website about this particular procedure but this link may help provide some further information for you:
Hi 66ra, sorry to hear about your shoulder pain. I've not had that op but have you tried asking the British Polio Fellowship for some advice? They have a forum and also a helpline I think. Maybe someone who's had a similar op there who could help you.
I had polio too as a child and it affected my right arm and had a bone graft on my wrist, which helped a lot, but that info is probably not much help to you.
We have been blessed (or cursed) with a double whammy, polio and RA, I'm having problems knowing which is causing what and so is the rheumy.
Anyway, good luck with your shoulder, I hope they can make it less painful for you.
