Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Numbness In The Shoulder And Hand After Shoulder Repair Surgery?
I had shoulder repair surgery almost two years ago. Mostly went in for torn labrum and surgeon reattached biceps, cleaned up rotator cuff and removed a spur. I have been having shoulder and hand numbness and after an mri, it has been discovered that I have severe stenosis and a spur on my cervical spine. Could this damage have occurred from my initial injury?
It could be a nerve compression. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists you can consult an orthopedics and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
