What Causes Pain In Upper Arm After Surgeries For Dislocated Shoulder?
I dislocated my shoulder about three years ago doing military Db press. I ve had three orthroscopic sugeries since then and I still have a pain in my upper arm when lifting my arm over my head. Also I have limited motion when trying to lift my arm overhead. I can t even do squat because it hurts to put my arm back that far. The pain seems to be right where, i guess, the bicep connects its basically directly in the middle of my upper arm half way between my shoulder and elbow. It only hurts if I try to go back with my arm. I attached a picture of where the pain is when I put my arm back and overhead.
Can you tell me about what procedure? Was it done at your shoulder? When was it done?
After arthroscopic surgery of shoulder in such cases it may take some time to recover completely. In such cases, physiotherapy for 3-4 months can be very helpful. Meanwhile, you may have tylenol for relief of pain.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
