A member asked:
Can i lift weights with two shoulder replacements. will i ever be able to throw a football again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoulder replacement: Once you have had shoulder reconstructions the normal musculature is weaker. Hence it is not advisable to lift weights that would impose stress on the shoulder or to throw a ball. You can still lift weights but restrict shoulder motion.
