Are you apprehensive in your approach to reaching for objects behind you after a recent shoulder dislocation? This could indicate persistent damage to the labrum or rotator cuff that could be benefited from a course of physical therapy or potentially surgical Bankart repair.
If you felt a pop in the shoulder that was associated with severe pain and weakness after catching a heavy object, this could indicate a rotator cuff tear. Acute rotator cuff tears may be best treated with an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Has that backhand swing you have been practicing for the upcoming pickleball or tennis tournament caused the lateral portion of your elbow to become painful? Are you now having problems with twisting a jar open? A treatment with the correct brace and injection could be all you need.
