Hello! I Was Recently Seen At My Doctors Office On

Posted on Mon, 1 Jun 2020

Question: Hello! I was recently seen at my doctors office on Monday, I was diagnosed with impingement syndrome and rotator cuff strain in my left shoulder. I was told to wait 2 weeks and come back if it’s not better. It’s only been a couple days but it’s only getting worse, it’s now waking me up in the middle of the night several times because of the pain. I’m not sure what to do at this point. I’m doing everything to help it get better, but it’s only getting worse.

Brief Answer:
Physiotherapy is the best treatment for it

Detailed Answer:
Dear,

Take physiotherapy sessions for at least 15 days along with supportive anti-inflammatory medications... Hope it will be relieved, else get an intraarticular injection of steroid in your shoulder.

It will definitely relieve your pain, don't forget to get an MRI scan done later on to confirm the diagnosis.
