For decades, Bill quietly endured crippling shoulder pain. It stole his sleep, his passion for golf, and even affected his family. He tried to get by, gritting his teeth, but the pain became too much.

That's when Bill turned to the WashU Medicine Orthopedics team at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital. Under the expert care of Alexander Aleem, MD, an advanced reverse shoulder arthroplasty became a "life-changing event," giving Bill a shoulder that feels like he's in his 20s again.
