Frequently Asked Questions
When is it time to see an orthopedic doctor for shoulder replacement?
It’s time to see an orthopedic doctor for shoulder replacement if you experience persistent shoulder pain that doesn’t improve with rest or treatments like physical therapy, difficulty performing everyday activities due to limited shoulder movement, or if arthritis or joint damage has significantly impacted your quality of life. Dr. King and Dr. James can evaluate your condition and determine if shoulder replacement is the right option.
What kinds of shoulder pain symptoms should I look out for?
Common shoulder pain symptoms to watch for include stiffness, limited range of motion, swelling, sharp or dull aches, pain that worsens with movement, weakness in the shoulder, or discomfort that radiates down the arm. If the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by numbness, tingling, or a sudden loss of mobility, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional.
Is surgery always necessary for shoulder pain treatment?
Surgery is not always necessary for shoulder pain treatment. Many cases can be managed with non-surgical options such as physical therapy, rest, medication, or injections, depending on the underlying cause of the pain. However, surgery may be recommended for severe injuries or conditions that don’t improve with conservative treatments. Always consult a healthcare professional like Dr. King or Dr. James for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
