Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I just got a cramp in my right shoulder after 7 months of multi-directional instability, and now it’s paining. I think there is swelling also. Could you help me understand what might be happening?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

If the pain and swelling in your shoulder persist, it’s important to see your operating surgeon as soon as possible to assess the situation. An MRI may be necessary to evaluate the status of your previous repair and rule out any complications. In the meantime, physical therapy should be your first line of treatment to help strengthen the shoulder and improve stability. Please seek professional advice to ensure proper management.

Thanks
