đ¤ Itâs time for another round of Q&A with our orthopedic experts! Today, weâre tackling a question about a common shoulder injury that can cause big problems if left untreated.
Q: I have this dull, deep ache in my shoulder that makes it hard to lift my arm, reach behind my back, or even sleep on that side. My shoulder also feels weak. What could this be?
A: Those symptoms point to a possible injury involving the muscles and tendons that support and move your shoulderâa rotator cuff injury, which can result from trauma, like a fall on to an outstretched hand, or gradual wear and tear.
Many patients try to âtough it out,â but leaving it untreated can lead to worsening pain, stiffness, and long-term loss of function. Early diagnosis and the right care make all the difference.
Visit us, and letâs get to the bottom of your symptoms and provide the appropriate treatment, so you can move your arm with ease again.
