Shoulder Pain? Here’s What NOT to Do ❌

— Tips from Dr. Deepthi Nandan Reddy, Shoulder & Hand Surgeon at Yashoda Hospitals

If you are struggling with persistent shoulder pain, what you avoid is just as important as what you do. Everyday habits may be slowing your recovery without you even realizing it.

Yes, you heard it right! Avoid These Common Mistakes that might worsen your shoulder pain:
- Sleeping on the painful side – It puts more pressure on the joint
- Doing hard workouts without advice – Don’t make your own shoulder exercises
- Slouching or sitting with bad posture – Sit straight, avoid bending forward
- Not moving the shoulder at all – Some gentle movement is needed for recovery

Listen to your body – Pain is a signal. With small changes in daily habits, your shoulder can heal better and faster.

Shoulder arthritis happens when the cartilage in your shoulder joint wears down, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced movement. Over time, everyday activities like lifting your arm, combing your hair, or even sleeping on your side can become difficult.

Common symptoms include:
• Shoulder pain
• Stiffness and loss of range of motion
• Grinding, clicking, popping or cracking in your Shoulder joint

If these symptoms persist or worsen, it’s time to see an Orthopedic Surgeon specialized in Shoulder Surgery at the earliest. Early diagnosis can help manage pain and prevent further joint damage.

Treatment options range from physiotherapy, pain medication, and lifestyle changes to injections or shoulder replacement surgery in advanced cases.

Don’t ignore long-standing shoulder pain. Let us help you get back to doing what you love!

Experiencing pain on the outside of your elbow, especially when lifting, gripping, or twisting your arm? It could be Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis).

This common condition isn't just for athletes; it's an overuse injury where repetitive arm movements cause tiny tears in your elbow tendons, leading to pain that can radiate down your forearm and weaken your grip.

While the pain can be sharp or burning, the good news is that most cases of Tennis Elbow respond well to simple treatments. Rest, ice, physical therapy, and bracing are often very effective. Surgery is rarely needed and typically considered only if non-surgical methods don't provide relief after several months.

If you are struggling with ongoing elbow pain, get in touch with an Orthopedic Surgeon for accurate diagnosis and effective tennis elbow treatment. Early treatment helps you return to your routine without pain.

A scaphoid fracture happens when a small bone in your wrist breaks, often after trying to stop a fall with your hand. It may cause pain near the base of your thumb, swelling, or difficulty moving your wrist. Many people think it is just a sprain, but if left untreated, it can lead to poor healing, arthritis, and long-term wrist pain.

If you have wrist pain after a fall, or if your thumb area feels swollen and sore, it is best to get it checked early. Timely treatment helps the bone heal properly and prevents future complications.

If you are struggling with swelling and pain your wrist, don’t ignore it. Let us help you get back to doing what you love!

Sometimes, due to a sudden impact or injury, the bones in your elbow joint can get completely pushed out of place – this is known as an elbow dislocation. It's a serious injury that brings intense pain and makes it impossible to move your arm!

So, how can you tell if your elbow might be dislocated? Look out for obvious bruising, really sharp pain, noticeable swelling, or if your elbow simply looks "odd" or deformed. You'll also find it very difficult, or just cannot move or use your elbow at all.

If you suspect an elbow dislocation, please rush an Orthopedic Surgeon immediately! It's super important – never, ever try to push it back into place yourself or let anyone who isn't a qualified medical professional try. This kind of injury won't heal on its own and urgently needs expert medical attention to prevent further damage.

In this short video, I talked about a condition I often see in my practice — Shoulder Arthritis.

Many people don’t realise that the shoulder is the 3rd most common joint affected by arthritis. When the cartilage wears out, it causes pain, stiffness, and can even affect your daily life and sleep.

In this video, I've explained how to identify the signs early and why timely diagnosis is so important. I've also shared how treatments — including shoulder joint replacement — can help restore movement and improve quality of life.

Finding it hard to bend or straighten your elbow due to severe pain or stiffness?

If simple tasks like lifting, bending, or even holding things are becoming difficult, it might be time to consider elbow replacement. This surgery is usually needed when there is severe damage to the elbow joint due to conditions like severe arthritis, previous fractures, or joint damage from rheumatoid arthritis.

In elbow replacement, the damaged joint is replaced with an artificial one, helping reduce pain and improve movement. It is most helpful for people who have tried medicines, physiotherapy, and other treatments but still have trouble with everyday activities.

If your elbow pain is severe and interferes with daily work, don’t ignore it. Let us help you get back to doing what you love!
