Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Pain At The Surgery Site

I had open shoulder surgery six years ago . Laterget procedure. The head of orthopedics at Massachusetts General did the surgery. I have what I call nuts and bolts and pins from an arthroscopic serger that was done before this surgery. I always dislocated it. Now I am having pain at surgery site ,on outside of upper arm and under arm. Also shoulder blade when I lean back on it. I also feel pain at times down to my finger joints. What can I do? I can t have an MRI as I have a clip on my anterior communicating artery. An bleeding aneurysm. This was done on Oct. 20, 2008. I don t know if I should see a GP or Orthopedic surgeon. I am in Fl for the winter and go home April 25. I am 70 years old. I also feel like I have sciatic pain going from buttock down back of right leg. Don t know if these are connected?

Hi,

As a first line management, analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol can be taken for pain relief.

If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

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