Do you have a stiff shoulder?
Do you have intense pain when reaching out to pick up something?
Are you unable to carry on with your daily activities?
If you have answered YES to any one of the questions, then you must see a doctor to get yourself treated for a shoulder injury.
Shoulder injuries mostly affect muscles, tendons and ligaments and usually not the bone.
• Sports injuries
• Can occur during an accident or fall
• Minor trauma – if shoulder pops out, should be pushed back in immediately
• If it occurs often, muscles get stretched and surgery may be recommended
• Sprains due to repeated falls on shoulder
• Dislocations due to over extension
• Pain medications and injections
• Physiotherapy
• Surgical removal of joint (Chronic pain)
• Due to repeated use of arm overhead
• Causes bony spurs that trap rotator cuff tendons
• Steroid injections
• Physiotherapy
• Surgery of subacromial bursa with removal of the bony spur
• Tears caused by sports injury
• Gradual degeneration of muscle related to aging
• Early ultrasound scanning helps detect it
• Tears can be surgically repaired by keyhole surgery
• Due to repetitive overhead throwing
• Causes abnormal gliding of shoulder joint
• Leads to abnormal wear of the labrum
• Stretching exercises
• Cortisone injections for pain management
• May be advised to refrain from sports till healed
• Overhead throwing
• Heavy lifting
• Tackle sports
• Pain medication and rest
• If pain persists, surgery(keyhole) may be the only option
• Caused by falls
• Direct blow to shoulder
• Throwing and pulling injury
• Diagnosed with MR Arthrograms (MR scan with special dye injected into the shoulder joint)
• Keyhole surgery (arthroscopy) is the best option
