Shoulder operation decompression
Common Questions and Answers about Shoulder operation decompression
operation
A nerve block is used during the operation which means that immediately after the operation the shoulder and arm may feel numb. This may last a few hours. After this the shoulder may well be sore and you will be given pain killers to help this whilst in hospital. These can be continued after you are discharged home. Ice packs may also help reduce pain. Wrap frozen peas or crushed ice in a damp, cold cloth and place on the shoulder for up to 15 minutes.
Hi, I have had shoulder pain from approx 2yrs resulting from an accident. My doctor referred me to an orthopeadic surgeon in dec 2008, it was dec 2009 when i finally received surgery. I had an arthroscopic procedure called sub acrominal decompression. I cannot tell you in words how painful this was!!!! Unfortunately my pain persisted and i developed a frozen shoulder and i had manipliation under anestetic in march 2010.
I was not able to sleep, sit or stand and walk Therefore I consulted Surgeon and as per the x-ray and MRI reports he advised me for the operation. Therefore I had undergone operation for slip disc i.e. decompression of s1 between L4 and L5. The operation was performed by Neurosurgeon and an orthopedic surgeon. But even after three months I still suffer from hip pains. Particularly I am not able to make free movements in sleeping position.
After several doctor visit and referrals to neurosurgeons, I was finally referred to pain management, only after my insurance has ceased and was not able to afford new insurance, it has been 2 years and I am still experiencing headaches from severe to moderate, shoulder and neck pain, I usually can only handle holding my head up for about 30 to 45 minutes before I have to lay down, the neck starts feeling strained and shoulder starts hurting, my current doctor has put me on maxalt and propranal
I have had arthiscopic subcromail decompression in shoulder due to arthiritis 11 weeks in and still in a lot of pain
I had Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression in June 2012 after 2 years of pain in shoulder. Surgeon found biceps tear and supraspinatus tear and debridement biceps and anchored the supraspinatus. Post surgery my pain that I had in a particular spot is completely gone but ever since surgery 11 months ago I have pain in the coracoid process now. I did all my physio and have full ROM but the pain is severe enough.
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?
re seeking a 3rd opinion on Tuesday before confirming the posterior fossa decompression operation scheduled for 17/09/12. What I really need now is how would you how Chiari is diagnose - the reference point. .
I was sent to another consultant who removed the original lump and in another operation performed a shoulder decompression, removing thickened synovial fluid from the shoulder joint. I return to a different GP because other large joints (hips) cause as much pain as the shoulder and she re- did blood tests my RF levels are now over 400 but still my inflammation levels are low. I'm in constant pain and tied, My joints get stuck the clunk painfully back into place.
I've been having pins and needles down my arm and pain in shoulder for about 6 weeks. Every day it seems to be getting worse, I can't do dishes, bath my children or even use the mouse on my computer without the pain escalating to an excrusiating level.
My xrays only showed Mild narrowing of the C5-6 disc space with mild retrolistheses, straightening of cervical lordosis. ( which i don't fully understand what this means)
My question is.... Could there be more going on?
The surgeon says the stenosis is causing the atrophy in the trapezius. I went to my shoulder dr for the pain and lump that is in the shoulder area above the spine. They say I have nerve damage to the trapezius and maybe a tear- the MRI is not clear other than edema in this area- I see my ortho dr tomorrow to see what is next- has anyone experienced a tear of the trapezius from decompression surgery? Is this from my stenosis?

I was recently dx with chiari malformation and intercranial hypertention after years of being treated for "migraines" . I am scheduled for the decompression surgery next week and am very worried because I dont know a single person that has had this surgery. If there is anybody who has had this surgery that can clue me in on what to expect, please let me know.

As some of you are aware tommorow marks one week since my first decompression surgery. At this point it seems to have been a success. But then how long does it take before one 'really' truely knows if the syptoms will stay at bay? Time will tell one suspects. I do know that the most crippling ones for me have stayed at bay this far. The last two days the HAs have returned, not as bad but none the less... ouch.
I still had severe pain and symptoms that traveled down into, around and under my left shoulder blade. Both of my arms feel heavy to raise, and feel achey,it feels more pronounced on the left side and feels like a rope or string deep inside my left upper arm is pulled at times and aches. I cannot sleep well and the pain seems to increase when I lay down.

I had a shoulder decompression and rotator cuff tear repair about 5 years ago, A few months ago I had a ultrasound which showed a full thickness tear, bursitis and osteoarthritis, went to see a ortho surgeon who then got me to have a MRI scan. The scan showed no tear but alot of fluid in the shoulder, he called it a angry shoulder? Is it possible for a MRI to be wrong? If not what is with the fluid in the shoulder? can someone please help.
I had surgery in february of this year for Tendonitis in my left shoulder. After the surgery the pain is worser than before, because I have burning and shouting pain at the front of my shoulder I need to know is that normal?
