I’ve been having an occasional problem with my left shoulder. It feels like something on the top of the shoulder gets caught but if I slowly and carefully sort of rotate it, it corrects itself.
I have full range of motion.
About an hour ago it seemed to get caught worse than usual. Right now it feels a bit like cold air got inside my shoulder.
One week post op PKR, 3-20-17, was the first time my PT force bent my knee. I grabbed the sides of the table I was laying on and held on for dear life because it hurt so bad. 2 hours later it felt like the front of my shoulder was on fire, the pain was a 10 and the dilaudid I was taking for the knee didn’t touch it. I did not have full range of motion at that point.
Back to my OS a few days later for an X-ray of the shoulder and they called it acute tendinitis.
Could that incident have started what’s going on now, a year and a half later? My current issue has been happening for about a month.
My main question is, if it gets to the point I need to see a doctor, my guess is PT will be the first thing they suggest. (isn’t it always?)
After the PT for my knee I am very leary of “therapy”. In this case should I go if it is recommended?
