What Causes Constant Severe Pain After Surgery For Shoulder Dislocation?

ive had 3 surgeries for chronic dislocations (shoulder) 2arthro 1 open.......the last was about 10 years ago. Since then I ve dealt with chronic but usually bearable pain and periodic finger numbness. About 3 months ago I fell from a roof (about 14 feet).I dislocated it and relocated it myself, Since then, I pray for death almost hourly. The pain is constant and excruciating, even worse, my hand is permanently pins and needles with frequent bouts of burning . What should my course of action be?

Hello,

I have studied your case.
There can be again injury to shoulder joint ,you need immediate treatment.
For recurrent shoulder dislocation you need to repeat investigation and treatment.
MRI may show Hill sach injury or bankart lesion.
Hill sach injury is bony defect and you may need investigation and arthroscopy

You may need arthroscopic repair for bony bankart lesion.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS ,or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
You may need to take rest for early healing.
After correction usually recovery occurs in 4 to 6 months.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
