Had severe pain in right shoulder and couldn t move my arm. Went to urgent care and they gave me a shot of Torodol and referred me to an Orthopedic Surgeon. I can t get in until the 27th. My arm started feeling better, but now I have a puffy curved line going up my arm that looks similar to a varicose vein. Is it something to be concerned about?
Hello, I have studied your case. There can be shoulder rotator cuff injury which can be confirmed on MRI. If MRI shows severe impingement or rotator cuff tear then arthroscopic shaving and repair will help. Yes this can be day care surgery. Medication like tender and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. Strengthening exercises after surgery will help in early recovery. You may need to take rest for early healing. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health.
