I have a full-blown case of frozen shoulder. The PA who saw me gave me all kinds of options from doing nothing to having surgery. What do you recommend? 37 weeks 6 days ago 162
I don't know how it happened or why but I developed a frozen shoulder over the summer. Now starts the long rehab process to try and get my motion back. Can you tell me what is really going on inside the joint and what my chances are for a full recovery? 37 weeks 6 days ago 111
I was thinking about having that new blood injection therapy when the surgeon repairs my torn rotator cuff tear. Everything I read about it was so positive. Now I heard on the news that surgeons in NYC say it could have a negative effect on healing. What should I do now? 39 weeks 6 days ago 137
I'm reading everything I can find on-line about platelet-rich plasma therapy for rotator cuff tears. I think this may be the way I want to go IF I have surgery. I notice sometimes they talk about blood injection therapy, sometimes it's platelet-rich plasma, and today I found reference to platelet-rich fibrin matrix. What's the difference among these three things? 39 weeks 6 days ago 148
Last fall I suffered a shoulder injury that still plagues me. Now I'm starting to have problems with my shoulder blade. Whenever I raise my arm up overhead, the shoulder blade seems to be rubbing against my ribs causing a scraping and grinding feeling. Is this a new problem or just part of the ongoing shoulder problem? 45 weeks 1 day ago 246
