Why Do I Have Pain in Left Shoulder?

Patient's Query

Pain in left side hand shoulder

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

Pain in the left shoulder can stem from various causes including muscle strain, overuse, or issues with joints. Symptoms may involve discomfort, stiffness, or limited movement. To alleviate the sensation, gentle stretches, applying heat or ice, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers might help. It's essential to rest and avoid activities that exacerbate the discomfort. However, if the pain persists, or worsens, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please reach out to an orthopedist for a comprehensive evaluation.

You suffer from back and leg pain as well as numbness and excess sleepiness. These symptoms can be caused by a nerve block in your lower back which can produce discomfort and strange sensations in your leg. Your doctor has prescribed some medicines to you to aid in managing pain and inflammation. Adhere to them, and take a break from your doctor if there are any changes or concerns.

This could indicate a serious ankle injury, possibly a fracture. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention to determine the extent of the damage and receive proper treatment. Rest, elevate your leg, and apply ice in the meantime, but prioritize getting medical help as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.

I have had patellar tendon repair surgery 3 weeks ago . I am now experiencing a burning sensation and tenderness does this mean the tendon has retorn or is this normal

Female | 26

It is a common issue among patients after the patellar tendon repair to have to deal with a burning sensation and tenderness. This may inflammation or irritation in the specific area of the operation as it is healing. These signs are normally a part of the healing process and are not the right indication of the recurrence of the tendon. To relieve the pain, you can wrap your leg with an elastic bandage and put it on the top of the pillows. Strictly follow your post-op care instructions and attend the follow-up appointments to let your doctor track your recovery.

For shoulder pain similar to a frozen shoulder, it's best to consult an orthopedist for accurate diagnosis and treatment advice. Possible steps to consider could be physical therapy, pain management with medications (under medical guidance), hot/cold therapy, stretching, gentle movement, and, if necessary, corticosteroid injections or surgical options.
