Hi Folks,

has anybody had an Arthroscopy? If so did the pain return?

I had this procedure 3 years ago and was pain free in my shoulder, but it seems to be back with avengance....

The pain radiates from my shoulder blade and can end up down my arm to my wrist. The hospital is quite dismissive about this but they dont have to live with me when I'm moaning about my arm hurting again...

Anybody had the same problems?

Any/All suggestions or advice welcome and appreciated.

Thanks
PhillyCee

    Hello and welcome
    I have just replied to a post on shoulder replacement, a friend of ours has had a Arthroscopy of his shoulder and they smoothed down the rotater cuff and washed it out, he is pain free at the min, but the consultant did say to him he didnt know how long it would last.
    so if I was you I would go back or ring them up and try and get across how much pain you are in...I do hope they listen and give you some help,
    Love
    Barbara
