Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Pain
Question: Hi, is it normal or ok to still have pain on the shoulder one year after a bankart repair procedure ? Its mostly external rotation pain.
Brief Answer:
Yes it is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr.Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
Whenever shoulder is Injured, there are generally multiple injuries one of.which is main cause of damage, and is treated. But the other injuries may take time to heal so pain persists.
In your case, you have pain only on external rotation. This can be explained by the fact that all shoulder surgeries for dislocation are aimed at repair of damage and restriction of external rotation. So some amount of stretching pain may persist for long time.
Thanks for the question.
Please feel free to ask any other question.

what do you mean no definite cure for the clicking ? And will pain eventually go away. This is the only real problem i have. I feel like i traded in one problem(instabilty) for another one (pain).
Brief Answer:
Please.send.all details for further evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
no definitive cure means that till such time we know the exact cause of clicking pain, no definite cure can be given.
I suggest that you send all the reports including MRI and operation details son that I can go through them. Also discuss the cause of clicking pain with your surgeon.
