Re: treatment for pa shoulder

[
I treated a patient, who is working as a chartered accountant, aged 55 with severe LT. PA shoulder for t past 4 months. He was crying of pain everyday. His ROM was not even 20 degree ABD & FLEX. For t past 4 months he was taking treatment of analgesics and inflamm.drugs. But no improvement.

hi friend
i feel we should think about other diagnostic possibilities and causes for the shoulder pain.dont get carried away by the diagnosis made by somebody else,especially in indian scenario.my personal experience shows that in more than 60% times,the cause will be related to rotator cuff.painful shoulder,periarthritic shoulder etc are vague terminologies which does not give a clue which tissue is at fault.even neural mechanosensitivity also causes similar presentation.
so a detailed assessment and clinical reasoning should be used for an appropriate treatment
