Preventing osteoporosis?

Depends on your age and current bone density. An endocrinologist with an
interest in bone metabolism will be able to help.

Lump on spine?

Most likely prominent spinous process. Would recommend seeing your primary
care physician and starting with xrays of the spine.

Red pimple?

Presence of pimp on the shoulder could increase the risk of a perioperative
infection. So surgeon depending your surgery may be cancelled.

Pain after surgery?

Simple answer is no.

Your symptoms most likely are the result of swelling in the arm. You
should speak with your surgeon.

Unsuccessful corrective surgery?

Simple answer. Yes.

This is not that incommon. Seek out a known orthopedic trauma surgeon who
corrects nonunions to solve your problem.
