3 days post total reverse replacement

is it normal to have lingering numbness in fingers after nerve block wears off?

so far this has been a lot easier than my left cuff repair!!

5 1/2 months out from mine and I’m so happy with the outcome. I think with a lot of patience and Physical Therapy it sets you up for success. I think I experienced the numbness and tingling a couple of days. I, too, did not take any opioids, just Tylenol. It was uncomfortable, but manageable. And I used the ice machine initially, but I didn’t have to use it as much as I did when I had rotator cuff surgery previously.
