In this episode of Ask Me Anything I got a great question from Alicia in New York that is dealing with a rotator cuff injury to the shoulder…
“ I listened to your last episode on whether or not you should still get an MRI if an X-ray is clean. I hurt my shoulder, with no real direct trauma or accident, that seemed to have come out of nowhere one day when I reached for something high up in my cupboard.
I started at my primary doctor, had 2 rounds of anti-inflammatories, 2 injections, and about 8 weeks of Physical Therapy which did a lot of nothing. Finally, I was then “qualified” to get an MRI done.
The results came back with a 75 percent partial tear of the supraspinatus tendon, tendinosis of the Infraspinatus tendon, and bursitis.
I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon and told I was a candidate for rotator cuff repair as I “failed” all other treatments.
I am only 38 years old with this and tired of dealing with all the shoulder pain but have been doing my research on these types of surgeries and how they have poor long-term outcomes.
My question for you is if you think the surgery would be a good option to fix it. If not, then what else would you recommend?”
In this episode, I do my best to give a different perspective on what is going on in this situation. Hopefully, you can learn something new from it as well and avoid getting jerked around by the medical system!
