Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a SLAP repair and manual manipulation to my left should with no pain relief. The pain starts on the back side of my shoulder and travels down to the middle of my upper arm. Since the SLAP repair my ROM has decreaed and moving it in certain directions kills me. Today I pulled myself up into a truck and maybe shouldn t have. Now I can feel my heart beat in my shoulder. Can you sgine some light on the situation?
You didn't follow your doctor's advice on limiting activity. There is inflammation after surgery and the area has to both heal up and have a range of motion exercises.
Too much activity and the area stays inflamed, scar tissue forms, this limits the range of motion, etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
