A rotator cuff injury can result in a dull ache in the shoulder that frequently gets worse when we try to sleep on the affected side. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint and keep the head of our upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder.
The risk of rotator cuff injury also rises with age, and it is most common in people who work or play sports that require repetitive overhead motions, such as painters, carpenters, baseball or tennis players.
Exercises used in physical therapy to treat rotator cuff disease help many patients regain mobility and strength in the muscles that surround the shoulder joint.
When this happens, it is important to seek medical attention right away because extensive rotator cuff tears may need to be repaired surgically, have other tendons transferred, or even require joint replacement.
SYMPTOMS OF ROTATOR CUFF INJURY
An injured rotator cuff may cause pain that includes:
- be characterized as a deep, dull ache in the shoulder
- Especially if one lies on the injured shoulder, disturbs sleep.
- impede reaching behind the back or comb the hair
- arm trembling accompanying
CAUSES OF ROTATOR CUFF INJURY
Repetitive overhead activity or heavy lifting over an extended period of time may irritate or damage the tendon, resulting in rotator cuff disease, which may be caused by either a significant injury to the shoulder or by progressive degeneration or wear and tear of the tendon tissue.
COMPLICATIONS OF ROTATOR CUFF INJURY
Although resting the shoulder is necessary for recovery, keeping it immobile for an extended period of time can cause the connective tissue enclosing the joint to become thickened and tight (frozen shoulder). If left untreated, rotator cuff problems may result in permanent loss of motion or weakness, as well as progressive degeneration of the shoulder joint.
HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF ROTATOR CUFF INJURY
FERRUM MET
It actually fixes the where it is used, surgery can be avoided, and it works on left-sided injuries as well as right-sided rotator cuff tears.
RUTA G
Useful for rotator cuff pain caused by deep aching tendons, ligament pain, and tendons and muscles losing their elasticity.
ARNICA
useful for treating shoulders, as well as a variety of other pain- and injury-related issues, when combined with musculoskeletal pain and swelling in the rotator cuff.
BRYONIA
Useful when pressure relieves pain so that he is most comfortable when lying on the injured shoulder. Useful for rotator cuff with painful movement. Useful when arm and shoulder feel too weak to move. There is burning and tearing pain and the shoulder feels pulled out of place.
CHELIDONIUM
Useful for rotator cuff when movement causes pain, there is rigidity and the muscles are more in spasm. Useful when one is unable to move their right arm due to a painful right shoulder. The pain may also radiate under the scapula and cause a stiff neck.
