Is it normal to still have pain 6 years after having rotator cuff surgery?
About 6 years ago I had rotator cuff surgery. My shoulder still hurts and I have proplems doing overhead work. Is this normal? I have seen 2 orthopedic surgeons, a pain management specialist, 2 chiropractors, and a physiologist. I also went through the necessary physical therapy as reccommended by the orthopedic surgeon who performed the surgery.
Yes as the median. I had it almost 4 years ago and can not lift my arm above my head without it popping out and extreme pain!
I have been told that the DR. took the conservative approach. I guess so because my MRI’s after surgery say that there is still massive injury. I have yet to speak to a patient that does not suffer from some sort of pain! Surgery is an answer but i personally am waiting to see what they come out with and just use pain management ,heat and ice as well as an antinflammatory ( ibuprofen) exercise was told to me to work if you do it slowly and 1st without weights. god luck i wish you better luck than i have had. you could have also re injured it get an MRI.
