What Does A Lump In The Shoulder After A Surgery Indicate?
After a complete tear of my rotator cuff and surgery five weeks ago I can’t raise the effected finger tips arm above my ear and I have a large, red lump on front upper portion of the shoulder, which my dr. has prescribed anti-biopics due to low grade fever at night.
