Did I Reinjure My Shoulder. Two Years Ago I Had

default
Posted on Sun, 6 Oct 2019
Question: Did i reinjure my shoulder. Two years ago i had a SLAP repair to fix a shoulder sublix. Before my surgery I could not put my arm overhead while laying down. It would have a weird pain and to get it back up would cause dislocation. The pain would be feel like tension in the back of the shoulder. Lately I have felt like my arm wants to separate. It also is having a similar feeling when I lay down and put my arm overhead. Did the tear reopen?

Brief Answer:
Can be a tear.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The feeling of separation of the arm and specially when having an overhead movement is suggestive of a tear. This can be a recurrent tear also due to stress. You need to get an MRI scan of the shoulder done to find the extent of damage to the shoulder capsule. A direct examination by an orthopedician will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
