Shoulder Pain & Treatment

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks, I’m currently doing treatment, week 32. I’ve had shoulder pain for most of that time. I’ve tried a cortisone shot (which helped for awhile), 10 weeks of physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractor, vicoden, etc. I still have pain. I did have shoulder pain before starting treatment, but it would pass so I don’t think it is caused by treatment; I do think that the medications are slowing the healing process. I recently had an MRA done. They injected a die into my shoulder joint and did an MRI. There were a lot of medical terms in the MRI report that I do not understand. They are tendinosis, Buford complex, labral tear, cartilage defect (GLAD), moderate sized Hill-Sachs deformity, moderately high risk for impingement. I have done some research on the internet and understand a bit more,

but not enough to make an informed decision on what to do. The doctor said that one of these problems (I can’t remember which, Brain Fog Moment) will not get better and that I need a surgery. My question is this, has anyone have experience with problems like these and what did you do for it? Should I wait until after treatment to have a surgery and see if it just goes away, or should I just get it over with now? The pain is really bad and any information will be greatly appreciated.
