However, let\u2019s try and understand here that not all shoulder pain is due to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desaishoulders.com\/frozen-shoulder-treatment.php\">frozen shoulder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s breakdown why your shoulder is painful<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are some causes where the shoulder is painful but the problem is elsewhere<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A heart attack &#8211; Chest pain that radiates to the left shoulder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cervical spondylosis &#8211; Neck pain that radiates to the shoulder arm and the arm with associated tingling numbness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gallbladder inflammation &#8211; Irritation of the diaphragm due to an inflamed gall bladder radiate to the right shoulder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are causes of shoulder pain and restriction of shoulder movements where the<br>problem is in the shoulder itself. The shoulder joint is made up of the ball and socket joint, the<br>capsule and the rotator cuff muscles and tendons. Conditions affecting any of these structures<br>cause shoulder pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.desaishoulders.com\/shoulder-dislocation.php\">Shoulder Dislocations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rotator cuff Tendonitis or tendon inflammation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.desaishoulders.com\/rotator-cuff-tear-treatment.php\">Rotator cuff tears<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.desaishoulders.com\/shoulder-arthritis-treatment.php\">Shoulder joint arthritis<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step toward treatment is to understand the cause of pain<br>Clinical examinations and investigations like X-rays and MRIs help us get an accurate diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Frozen-shoulder-or-adhesive-capsulitis-1-1024x625.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-705\" style=\"width:565px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Frozen-shoulder-or-adhesive-capsulitis-1-1024x625.png 1024w, https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Frozen-shoulder-or-adhesive-capsulitis-1-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Frozen-shoulder-or-adhesive-capsulitis-1-768x469.png 768w, https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Frozen-shoulder-or-adhesive-capsulitis-1.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This is a common cause of pain in the 40 &#8211; 60-year-old age group. These patients also have<br>associated diabetes or hypothyroidism. The reason for stiffness is the thickening of the capsule. The<br>muscles and labrum structure are normal in MRI. It is only then that a diagnosis of a frozen<br>shoulder is confirmed. Traditional treatment in the form of physiotherapy and medication is time-consuming and takes up to 2 years for the shoulder movements to return. The latest and most<br>successful treatment is keyhole surgery. The thickened capsule is released. The advantage is that<br>the movements return in 1 week and strength in 1 month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shoulder Dislocation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a patient with shoulder dislocation, the ball slips out of the socket. This is an emergency<br>situation when it happens and requires immediate treatment to put the ball back into the socket.<br>However, this is not the final treatment. Once the shoulder dislocates it causes a tear in the<br>labrum (meniscus-like tissue in the shoulder). Hence the shoulder always remains unstable and has<br>a 90 percent chance of repeat dislocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This condition can be permanently solved today with surgery. There are several procedures<br>described in studies, however, the latest treatment that gives the best results where the<br>dislocations stop and the movements return normally are the following. Most patients return<br>back to the sport after this treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Dislocation-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-708\" style=\"width:594px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Dislocation-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Dislocation-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Dislocation-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Dislocation-1.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shoulder arthroscopy and Bankart repair<\/strong>                                                                                          This is the latest keyhole surgery technique to repair the torn labrum after a dislocation.

They occur after an injury like lifting weight or after falls. They may also be age-related wear and tear. Complete tears and &gt;50% partial thickness tears are best treated by a keyhole surgery called arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The results are excellent if done early. If these tears are left alone, they worsen and the quality of the tissue deteriorates with time. This is when shoulder joint wear and tear begins and this condition is call rotator cuff tear arthritis. Once a patient reaches this stage of the disease, the only option is shoulder replacement.                                                                                   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shoulder Arthritis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Arthritis-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-710\" style=\"width:527px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Arthritis-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Arthritis-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Arthritis-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/desaishoulders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shoulder-Arthritis.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A patient who is over 60 years of age with a painful and stiff shoulder should be investigated for<br>shoulder joint arthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes SHOULDERS can also be successfully REPLACED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shoulder replacements are the only way to permanently treat a worn out joint.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desaishoulders.com\/shoulder-arthritis-treatment.php\"> Shoulder arthritis<\/a> or<br>wear and tear is of 2 types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Arthritis with normal muscles and tendons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arthritis with torn muscles and tendons<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The material or implant required for a successful surgery is different for these 2 types of arthritis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Broadly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Anatomical shoulder replacements<\/strong> mean the ball is replaced with a ball and the socket<br>with a socket, which is used for patients with worn-out joints but have normal muscles and<br>tendons.
