He is on eliquis and does not take pain medicines. The pain interferes with his sleep and recently stopp d him from playing golf. How suCcesful is this surgery in someone 94 years. Thanks for considering my question. Susan

Hi,
In some people, persistent pain is seen after shoulder replacement surgery. He can take analgesics like tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist he might require steroid injection also.
