Another Referral

Lizziejayne53

Good morning all,

after many weeks of waiting I have now received a further referral to the consultant who carried out my shoulder surgery in 2022 (frozen shoulder; rotator cuff tendon repair). I will be going on 2nd November but not sure what to expect now.

Since the operation, I have been attending physio on and off (was impacted by the lock down) and in the recent appointments any exercises seem to exacerbate the pain. This was when I was told I have Osteoarthritis - I have had a number of steroid injections but with very limited impact. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice of what to ask at my next appointment.

Thank you in advance
