Q.
Pain in both shoulders
I have
been having a gradual increase in shoulder pain the last 2 years. It's
now affecting all parts of my shoulder and arm. I have pain moving it
slightly, rotating in both directions, sleeping on it, putting my body
weight on it, and it's in both shoulders. The right is worse. My doctor
doesn't think it's a bone spur, because the pain is in both shoulders.
Any suggestions to what is causing this pain, I didn't have any injury. I
did have an
EMG test which came back normal. Do you think prolo will
help and how many treatments?
A. In my opinion you need to get an x-ray of
both shoulders. That would show whether or not you have a bone spur. Then go
to a Prolotherapy doctor. If your
impingement sign is negative, then you
can
make a complete recovery with Prolotherapy. If your impingement sign is
positive, you should make a complete recovery from pain except for overhead
activities. To become pain free from that you would most likely need
arthroscopic surgery.
The
impingement sign is when the doctor internally rotates the upper arm
while lifting it up. This narrows the space through which your
rotator cuff tendons traverse underneath the
Acromioclavicular
joint.
Definitely go see a
Prolotherapist. They should be able to tell you
whether Prolotherapy will help or not
