Shoulder rotator question.
I have bursitis and tendonitis and a slight tear in it. What are the treatment options Monday I go see a specialist. :sadangel:

They're prolly gonna lop it off. :yesnod:
Seriously though, is that something a cortisone shot could help? If so, it'll be the worst 15 seconds of your day, but that stuff is great. :dance: |

Options are surgery or a combination of PT and drugs. I know several people who have had the surgery, and they're not happy with it.

In my case I had a bone in my shoulder pressing on the tendon in the joint. It caused the tendinitis and only surgery helped. Plus they found a hand full of bone chips and other junk. |

I did a little PT, not near what was prescribed and haven't had real problems with it since. 4 years or so I guess. The pain of the shot was less that the pain I was having reaching for stuff... well worth doing. |

Thank you for this I appreciate it.. My shoulder has excruciating pain when I make a bad movement with it the rest of the time I'm fine. My not sleeping well is because of the shoulder pain while sleeping, wakes me up.. |

When the doc came in, I was completely prepared to hear that I needed surgery but was not prepared to see that needle. I hope you work it out... it was a great remedy for me. I have had to change my sleeping position though as it was contributing the shoulder pain. One last note about surgery... my son is/was an avid kayaker and tore a shoulder up pretty bad. Had surgery to fix... cut it open surgery, not a scope, and he said the recovery was brutal. He probably 90% now. Of course he was < 30 when he had it done. Avoid the knife. |
I have about the same thing. After suffering with it for about 5 years. I went to the doc last winter about it. Its seems to be worse in the winter.
The Cortisone shot I had hurt like hell for a bit. Then was kinda sore for a day or two. No problems since, feels great. But we shall see this winter if it comes back. |
