Suggest Treatment For Impinged Tendon In Shoulder
Question: I have an impinged tendon in my shoulder. Have had a cortisone injection but the relief was very short lived. What other options do I have please?
Brief Answer:
Arthroscopic shaving and repair will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
Impingement can lead to tear of rotator cuff muscles.
It can be rotator cuff injury which may need MRI for confirmation.
If MRI shows severe impingement or rotator cuff tear then arthroscopic shaving and repair will help.
Medication like tendocare and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
Strengthening exercises according to MRI report will help in early recovery.
You may need to take rest for early healing.
Also check your vit B12 and vit D3 in your blood.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
