How Can Osteoarthritis In The Left Shoulder Be Treated?
I believe I have osteoarthritis in my left shoulder. I am in pain most of the time, I have limited motion in my left arm. I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my left knee which comes and goes but this pain is constant. It is much worse after I do anything repetitive with that arm or hand. I am 73 years old.
