Doctors suspect that I have re-torn my Subscapularis Tendon after 2 surgeries for Stabilation.  They want to schedual an MRI, but if there is another way to examine the tendon, i would rather not have an MRI.

I don't think there is, sorry.

Never saw one of these done before.  It seems once fused your ROM is going to be limited.  I suspect that it will also affect your strength as well.  I guess that's better than having a chronicly dislocated shoulder.  I personally sublux my shoulder and it hurts to the point of passing out but as with subluxations it eventually slips into place again.\n\nGood luck, I hope the surgery improves your situation.\n\nhttp://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/arthrodesis_of_the_shoulder

You don't feel very confident in the diagnosis by doctors who have seen you and the MRI, but you are going to be ok with answers here?????\n\nPlease get another Dr's opinion, but don't trust your brain to Yahoo.

Get an MRI if you haven't already.

You sound like you got your knee at the same shop my husband got his.  The doctor you need to see to have it evaluated is an Orthopedic Surgeon.   X-rays don't show most of the ails that affect a knee, because most of it involve cartilage or tendons, which don't show up in them.  You could have problems with either the cartilage pad that separates the bones of the upper and lower leg, or a partial ligament tear.  Either of those problems will cause knee pain, immobitility of the joint, swelling, and even the knee to give out and let you hit the deck.   Though I will also tell you that there isn't a lot they can do at the moment if it involves the cartilage.  If it's a ligament tear, that can be repaired surgically.   My husband has a small hole in his cartilage, and a little extra ligament movement, and has a specially fitted brace to wear when it's really giving him fits.  I keep a bag of frozen peas around just for him to use when it swells.  I would bet that you have a similar problem, as his also will snap,crackle and pop, and he actually creaks when he walks.   He takes Motrin for the pain, and wears the brace when the weather turns cold.  Also when he's going to be doing much walking.   We see the Orthopedic Surgeon about once a year to re-evaluate the knees, and for him to decide if it's at the point that surgery would be of benefit to him.  His Orthopedic Surgeon also has two bad knees, and they usually end up comparing noises and clicks.  So I'd say that was your best choice of doctor- Orthopedic Surgeon, and see what he has to say about it.  They may do an arthroscopy to have a look at it, and give you the final diagnosis then, along with your treatment options. They can also fit you for a proper brace then as well.   Good luck, though I hate to tell you knees are real boogers to fix, and fix well.  They make lots of things, but not knees.

I had Arthoscopy surgery back in Nov. I had a chipped bone and also had arthritis clean up. My knee still bothers me at times, are you in an immobilizer or anything to keep your leg straight? Or on crutches? Its going to take time for it to heal, knees have a long healing process.

ask for a second opinion when you go back to the doctor , , they always try pt ,and cortizone shots first ,but it will eventually rip the bicep tendon completely off , requiring major surgery , i have been going though this same situation withy work comp for about 4 years now , i'm not working anymore

Maybe you're "backed up". I'm not poking fun at it, I'm being serious. One of my exes had the same problem (going by your short description) and that was the problem. Doctors said nothing was wrong. It took a trip to the hospital -voluntarily- to find it out. She was in pain for a month and half, if I remember correctly. But, they took an x-ray and found out she was indeed, "backed up". The best way to find out is to go to a professional or specialist and ask. Specialist would be better because they focus on one part of the body and not the whole body which regular doctors guess way off than specialists. I'd say take laxatives or something as a suggestion but this is medical advice and can't really give you that since I'm not a doctor.

Could be a cyst, they usually resolve themselves but sometimes you have to have surgery to remove them. If they rupture believe me you'll know, this hurts really bad.If I was you, I would insist that the doctor run more tests (ultrasound). Keep on him until you feel satisfied, if he doesn't want to help you find a new doctor. You should not be in pain all the time.

There is a chance that you could have thrown out your rotator cuff. Personally if that happened to me i would get it checked out.

Sounds like bursitis.  If you have full range of motion, can move your arm/shoulder in all directions, then it's not likely dislocated and in the absence of a traumatic event, it's not likely torn cartilage.  Take Advil or another anti-inflammatory and see what happens.  Otherwise see a doctor.

Go to a sports Dr (sounds weird but is not) They get joint pain better than most ortho's.  If you don't live in a major city at least get 2nd opinion.  Dr's tend to slough off pain especially from women because, well don't get me going there. If you're in pain, somethings wrong. I've had major ortho surgery 5 times and know when it works and when it doesn't

OK, the short answers:\n\nQ: My hand is tingling and is sore too what happened?\nA: You probably subluxated your shoulder, meaning it popped slightly out of the socket, but not fully. This being said, any one of several things could have happened to your hand, injury or subsequent pain are quite common with this type of injury. More than likely you've strained a nerve or pinched one.\n\nQ:The doc x rayed and said it is back in place and he said i have rotary cup damage what does that mean?\nA: Your rotary cup is the collection of muscles binding and holding your shoulder into the socket. Some tearing or stretching (straining) of these muscles are common with this type of injury.\n\nQ: He said i may need surgery why is that?\nA: If you have actually torn some or all of your rotary cup, surgery will be required in order to reconnect the muscle tissues and ensure proper healing.\n\nQ: I am supposed to check the circulation in my hand every once in awhile by checking my finger nails why do I have to do that?\nA: This is called "capillary reaction". What you are doing is pushing all the blood out of the capillaries under your nail and ensuring it fills back up in good time. You were asked to check this to ensure that your loosened shoulder is not pinching off any veins and that you haven't damaged any during the injury, which would probably result in you loosing your arm (the capillary reaction under normal circumstances for most people turns white when pinched and red within a couple seconds afterward).\n\nQ: Do i have to wear the collar and cuff that he gave me?\nA: If you want to heal, yes. Attempting to move the arm retards the healing process greatly and can cause improper healing.\n\n\nFinal Thoughs: To speed your healing, do EVERYTHING your doctor tells you. Wear your cuff, avoid moving/jarring your shoulder, maintain appointments with doctor and call him/her if you have questions or something seems wrong.\n\n\nAdditional Questions:\n-Your chiro is not a MD.\n-Muscles tears generally will not show up in Xray\n-Your doc should make that descision with you.

OK I have a BIG history on my knee following a completely torn ACL (that is the ligament that holds the knee together).  I have had 5 knee ops and I don't know how many physio sessions as well as I guess about 1 year using crutches (over a 9 year period).\n\nAs a few people have said go and get referred to a knee specialist (if you are British go to your GP and get him to refer you - if you have Health Insurance ....use it!).\n\nIt is really difficult to judge what you have done from your description - I did hyper extend my during one of my recovery periods following an op and physio resolved the problem.  However what you will probably end up getting is an MRI scan which should show up any damage that you may have done to yourself.  If they cannot see anything they may well send you for physio and see how it goes.  If the problem is shown on the scan then they will almost certainly carry out an arthroscopy on you which uses fibre optics to look inside your knee and see what is going on.  They can solve the problem this way and the operation is simple and recovery is quite quick.\n\nAnyway the basic answer is GO TO YOUR DOCTOR and see from there!!\n\nIf you want check the website below - it is full of sad people with really really bad knee issues - you can get a lot of advice from here!

MRI is not usually necessary for lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow. Maybe the injection was not done properly or you have not eliminated the very thing that caused your tennis elbow in the first place. Have you tried physiotherapy?

Maybe you should check it out w/ the Dr. make sure you don't have an infection or pulled something.  My sister-in-law had one and she recommends wearing a girdle to hold your belly while you are recovering.

You probably tore a ligament or tendon.  I was in a car accident that left my shoulder in a lot of pain.  It took me a few months to recuperate so that I could lift my arm more than a few inches and a few more before I could brush my hair without pain or difficulty.  Keep moving and stretching it without hurting yourself worse.  Just do a little bit a time and talk to your doctor about your concerns.  He may be able to suggest an anti-inflamatory to help with the soreness and stiffness.  Good luck.
