Get daily achy pain in left shoulder. Had fully torn tendon and RC surgery in March 2015. Got an MRI on it early last year that showed a very small tear and some osteoarthritis. Have been taking 800mg ibuprofen once, sometimes twice daily. In AM, I take a Collagen II tablet, which makes pain disappear for 4-5 hours. Had RC surgery in right shoulder in March 2007, but very little problems with that shoulder, except for a little arthritis pain at times. BTW, have 100% ROM in both shoulders.
Was giving it serious thought about getting a Cortisone shot in the left shoulder. Was offered this before considering surgery, but declined. Had a Cortisone shot in hip in 2005, but still required hip replacement surgery.
Am really wondering if the shot would help me with the achy pain I get in the shoulder? I'm about to turn 68 and know how common arthritis is at this age.
Ideas, Suggestions?
