Unhappy rotator cuff???

i hurt my left arm golfing this summer, and tho that has healed, the pain traveled thru my neck and into my right shoulder/deltoid. it hurts like heck and tho i go to a chiropractor and have massages regularly, it still causes constant pain. if i lay on my right side to sleep my arm is in dull pain.

i guess it could be the rotator cuff, but i'm afraid to go to my doc (i don't care for him too much) as i don't want to have to have surgery. is there another way to heal this? thanks so much for input.

Re: rotator cuff???

Yes, there are plenty of things you can do to heal.
But you really should see an orthopedist who will be able to tell you if this is a rotator cuff injury/ or tendonitis, etc.
Don't even THINK surgery at this point.Surgery is an absolute last ditch option.

What you really need is a proper diagnosis.

And based on that, perhaps some physical therapy,or a cortisone injection, or the proper application of heat and/or ice, or judicious use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories or home exercises (prescribed by an expert who knows what you're dealing with). Don't try to self-treat without seeing an ortho person first.
As much as I believe in chiropractic work, I would suspend massage and all manipulation until you get a diagnosis. You could end up making things worse.

See an orthopedist.

Good luck,
zuzu xx
