For somepeople there is NO permanent relief. However, what many people―even some in the medical profession―don't realize is that there are sometimes multiple factors involved. The purpose of this teaching is to present some IDEAS that may help in reducing pain significantly OR altogether. Our GOAL is YOUR complete DELIVERANCE, HEALING and FUTURE HEALTH. ________________________________________ HEALING FROM SHOULDER, ARM & HAND PAINOPTIONS FOR RELIEF The normal treatment sequence for shoulder pain is: as follows: 1. Physical Therapy; 2. Cortisone injections; and, 3. Surgery (after MRI analysis) if #1 and #2 above do NOT help. Notice that #1 and #2 above may sometimes be scheduled by a medical practitioner in reverse order OR simultaneously. THE SEVERITY OF CHRONIC PAIN If left unattended―or IF treatment is suspended due to NO relief―chronic pain can escalate, causing depression and anxiety, sleep deprivation, social isolation, and even economic and financial burden. ____________________________________________ Data from the National Center for Health Statistics finds that more than 1 in 10 adults 65 and older say they have pain that limits their life most days, or all the time! ____________________________________________ Pain management in the last 10 years has been disheartening. Efforts at treating chronic pain with medication resuted in opioid abuse; overdoses are now among the leading causes of death for adults age 50 to 70. In this teaching I want to share with you some non-drug options that may help you. PAIN CAN BE MORE THAN PHYSICAL Your body and your emotions both feel pain: especially chronic pain. You can experience emotional, social and psychological damage in addition to physical damage. FIND OUT WHAT IS DRIVING YOUR PAIN Sometimes it is easy to identify. For example house painters who have reached overhead for years may end up with severe shoulder pain. Or certain athletes who do repeated arm movements may exacerbate the situation. In addition to the “area of pain” there MAY be some other “culprits” contributing to the problem. Ask yourself these questions: When did my pain start? Do I feel other part(s) of my body that seem to be connected to the KEY area at times? What causes my pain to increase: sitting, standing, computer use, reclining (i.e., at night), lifting, eating, driving (steering wheel operation)? What makes my pain feel better? (Does it help for long?) Does my pain ever go away? You may find a “co-conspirator” or the actual cause … like I did! YOU CAN TRY THESE STEPS STEP ONE Schedule an appointment with an Orhopedic Surgeon and explain your problem. They may suggest Physical Therapy and/or Cortisone shots. NOTE: Cortisone injections should NOT be taken over three (3) times a year in a single joint [and no more than six (6) times a year in total if in different joints] preferably four (4) months apart IF needed, Any more can cause deterioration of the soft muscle tissue and is NOT advised. Getting too many cortisone shots can cause serious problems like damaged cartilage and bone death. It can also make it harder to manage other conditions such as diabetes. HOW CORTISONE INJECTIONS WORK The goal of a cortisone injection is to improve pain and inflammation. Cortisone does not treat the underlying condition; it only treats the symptoms. Cortisone injections are used to treat many joint problems, including: Bursitis Tendonitis (including shoulder and arm) Trigger finger (can aggravate OR cause shulder pain) Carpal tunnel syndrome Tennis elbow Knee arthritis Many types of overuse injuries NOTICE: You may find that the cortsone shot helps successfully after the first few days BUT in some cases it may start to “wear off” after a couple months; hopefully, it will last longer. Cortisone is a type of steroid hormone that works by decreasing inflammation. Inflammation is the body's normal response to an injury, infection, or disease as a means to heal itself. However, when a condition is persistent and the inflammation is chronic, the symptoms of inflammation—including pain and swelling—can become intolerable. Ultrasound can also be used to guide injections. Ulrasound isn't just a diagnostic tool. When some type of injection treatment is needed, such a corticosteroid shot into a joint, unltrasound can be used to ...
