Re: [ACEsthetics] Rotator Cuff Surgery

I remember in my trigger point injection training, Dr. Blatman said that when you go to an orthopedic surgeon with pain, if there's something in the radiograph that doesn't look normal, they generally assume that that's the source of the pain, and they STOP LOOKING. 

We should keep looking.  Good for you, Mac.

The cuff is torn but the muscle people, a chiropractor and a MD, feel it has been there a long time and is not the reason for the pain and immobility.  The felt the fall on the should "froze" it.  They are treating the muscle Trigger Points and it seems to be working extremely well.

You did not have a torn rotator cuff.  As the young new hot doc here told me in a staff meeting, he's seeing tons of people coming for a nearby group planning rotator cuff surgery who have no tear and need no surgery…only physical therapy.

Hi Mac,
Torn Rotator cuff does not mean surgery. Ask basic info (grade of tear etc – I suspect you know all this so my apologies for redundancy). It is likely that posture, stability of the shoulder (hypermobile b/c of possible tear) and hypomobility of spine (because of prolonged dental postures etc) predispose to improper movement patterns. Attached are a few slides from part of a chapter I did for lippincott a few years ago. Hope they provide some insight.

Some of you may remember I was facing this horrible surgery.  
 
 
 
Update:  I went to see a chiropractor who works on Olympic  athletes world wide in a town next to Galveston, Tx.  After a quick  interview and putting my left arm through certain motions, he said I may  indeed have a torn rotator cuff but that was not what was causing the  pain.  He said my fall, froze the joint and corresponding muscles.
 
 
 
He recommended me to a MD who had studied under Janet Travel, one of  her star students too.  He did trigger point injections with Vit B and  lidocaine.  I still have restricted ROM but boy does it feel  better.  I am scheduled for more on Thursday.
 
 
 
And yes, I cancelled the surgery which I hope to never have.
 
 
 
We constantly need to look out of the box don't we?
