Can acromegaly cause shoulder osteoarthritis and
chronic inflammation?


A. Acromegaly can contribute to the problem because people with your condition tend to have
ligament laxity because of the overgrowth of your bones.

Shoulder replacement may not be effective because of the nature of the joint, it is not a ball and socket like the hip. It may be perfected one day, but that day has not yet come.

If your problems come from mostly overhead activity such as painting or reaching, that tells us that the bone spur may be a problem in your case, and probably would need to be shaved in a fairly minor surgical procedure.

You may still have pain afterwards not related to the spur which Prolotherapy would help you with. If overhead action is not your main problem, and for example you say, “It hurts when I lay on it, it tires easily, it aches all the time,” then you are a candidate for Prolotherapy

Concerning the chronic inflammation, two things may be causing this: Tendonopathy, truly damaged tendons, which
Prolotherapy could help heal, or a muscle inflammation in response to their having to hold your damaged joint in place, which they are not made to do. This "response" inflammation is not part of the healing cycle of inflammation that Prolotherapy promotes. Muscle spasm (inflammation) because of underlying ligament injury/laxity, would almost always stop if the ligaments are strengthened with Prolotherapy.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
