Suggest Treatment For Severe Right Arm Pain After A Shoulder Surgery
I had shoulder surgery for a rotator cuff fracture latter part of August 2016. I pushed myself after physical therapy visits thinking I could obtain the motion in my right arm as I had before the accident (lifting my right arm above my head). Due to pain in my right arm, I visited the Orthopaedist again and was then told that the plate should come out now. Why on earth, did I push myself so hard and now to go back to surgery? Is that necessary?

Hi,
As per my clinical experience, the current presentation suggests the explanation suggests a grave problem with the post-surgery prosthesis.
You must undergo revision surgery as advised by the ortho surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
