General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case and I would suggest you encourage him for surgery. I do not think that eight years old is not a contraindication for surgery.

If there is a complete loss of cartilage than taking pain killer is not going to tackle this issue. and these pain killers will also have a side effect.

So I would recommend you to opt for one of the surgery.

1. Arthroscopy debridement of the shoulder- It will provide good pain relief, and it is not a big surgery.

2. Shoulder replacement- This is slightly bigger surgery but even this can be done with due consideration by the anesthetist.

3. A steroid injection can be given for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
