Suggest Treatment For Recurring Shoulder Pain After Cartilage Attachment Surgery

In December I had shoulder surgery and my doctor went in and had to attach my cartilage to my bone with a biodegradable anchor, he also tightened my muscle. I have been painless since then until last month my shoulder starting hurting again and it is the same pain that it use to be. The pain is located in between my shoulder and my arm bone in the front and inside. I wondered if my cartilage could have come unattached again, and be causing my pain.

Dear patient
There are two possibilities 1. Progress of your disease 2. Detachment of cartilage. What was the reason for previous detachment? If it was trauma then chance of recurrence is less. If it was due to other cause disease progressing is more likely. We have to confirm diagnosis by doing mri of involved shoulder. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. You need to visit your operating surgeon with mri report. Take tab diclofenac 50mg sos for pain relief. All the best.
