I don't regret getting the plate at all, especially given the pointy shape I would have been left with if it'd been left to knit on its own. I didn't have a choice with having my plate taken out, as it was a hook plate that restricted my movement.
I have a small patch of numbness on the front of my shoulder joint about 3x3cm. I don't really have any discomfort with bags, but all of our shoulders must have ended up slightly different.

So I got the news today that I will need surgery as the bones haven't joined which explains the pain. I'm a bit pissed off as they have gone from saying they wouldn't operate and to many risks to now I need it. I could be 5 months post op of they had done it at the start. So I either get the op or put up with a constant ache.
I'm now wondering if there are ways that I could manage the pain rather than get the operation. I don't like that they said there will be numbness and wearing a bag would be uncomfortable etc.
How have you all been after the op? Also did you keep the plate in other ot removed later?
