Q:

Why do I need to take blood thinners after having a stent put in?

A:

One possible complication of a stent insertion is bleeding in the artery if it gets injured during the procedure. This bleeding can lead to an increased chance of blood clots forming at the stent site and blood thinners can help mitigate this to reduce the chance of a stroke from blood clotting.

Q:

What can I do at home to reduce my risk of falling?

A:

You should look around your house for things that could easily cause you to fall, like cluttered areas with cords. You can also consider railing support in your bathroom to help you get around safely, especially around your bathtub or shower.

Q:

Why has my doctor suggested reverse shoulder replacement surgery?

A:

If you are scheduled for shoulder replacement surgery, it is likely because non-surgical treatment methods are not being effective in helping you manage the pain and continue with your usual activities. In a traditional shoulder replacement, the tendons of the rotator cuff are used to help prevent dislocation of the shoulder joint following surgery.
