Shoulder surgery
by lisafc2000, Jan 19, 2008 10:51AM
Hi, I had shoulder decompression surgery on Nov. 30, they removed bone spurs and a piece of my shoulder blade due to an impingement. I hurt a lot worse now than I did before the surgery but it is more down the side of my arm now and when I wake up in the morning I can't even move my arm for a while. I can not lift or reach behind me or reach across to my other shoulder even without being in a lot of pain. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this after surgery?

How are you feeling?
I think either it could be due to nerve injury or due nerve compression.
It could also be carpel tunnel syndrome.
I think you should be consulting your surgeon back to see doe cause of pain.
You can get nerve conduction study done to see for diagnosis of neuropathy.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Bye.
I had this surgery-open shoulder-with acromioplasty and decompression. It took a long time, and a lot of physical therapy to get better. Are you in P.T.? If so, how much per week? I think I was doing it 2-3 times a week for months. That is the only way to get rid of stiffness, pain, etc. It may be "Frozen Shoulder"-where your joint/shoulder freeze up, many times after surgery. Sometimes, under anesthesia, they need to manipulate it to break up scar tissue. Hang in there-it is a rough surgery!
