Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

As per your history and symptoms you may need total shoulder replacement and if rotator cuff is not functioning then reverse shoulder replacement may be required.

For cervical disc disease
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

If nerve compression becomes severe later on then surgical decompression will give permanent relief.

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
