Pain in left shoulder
My mom is having pain in her left shoulder . She is not able to rotate her left hand completely without pain. Which doctor to consult orthopaedic or physiotherapy? She told that there is something if we apply that in affected area then it may solve the pain. She can't remember. Is there any such thing? To get relief from pain can she take any pain killer like diploma tab?
Hello..
Well first its better to consult an orthopaedician first so that he will examine you and also take x Ray if required....we need to see if its bone issues,liagment or muscle problem....yes physiotherapy does help for improving the issues but first orthopaedician should examine you and then he shall direct you..thank you
