What is the purpose of rotator cuff surgery?
Rotator cuff surgery is necessary when chronic shoulder pain associated with rotator cuff injury does not respond to conservative therapy such as rest, heat/ice application, or the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
What can you take for pain after rotator cuff surgery?
Give the shoulder a rest, alternate with ice and heat. Strengthening the muscle around the rotator cuff will relieve the load of movement. Low level laser has also been shown to be effective. Treatment of injured shoulder rotator cuff: If injury is less than 72 hours then local cold pack and Aleve or Advil by mouth. If one can not raise the arm fully then may need to see an orthopedist. Initial treatment is physicl therapy- i.e. to move arm and shoulder to fullest ability and strenghthen the muscles. If Physical therapy does not cure and one can not move arm then a surgery to repair the torn rotator cuff is advised. This may not be a DIY project. What I've done with tremendous success is using a mixture of sheep dip, orange tang, and Vick's vapor rub. The high acidity of the tang mixed with the mentholate and dung has a mysterious pain relieving effect. It has not been medically proven, but over 90% of people who try this process report astounding results. Answer: Rotator Cuff injuries are very common injuries and can persist for years unless treatment is properly addressed. Anyone who has had one will tell you that they are incredibly painful and very hard to heal. The rotator cuff is used to describe four muscle groups in the shoulder area. This muscle group helps to stabilize the joint in the shoulder when the upper arm moves. Once one or more of the rotator cuff muscles are injured it becomes very difficult to recover 100%. It is almost impossible to keep from re-straining the muscles because even in a sling our shoulder can still move. It's just not possible to stop everything and rest the injury properly. Everyone has demands that make them keep going and in the process we prevent the rotator cuff from healing. What ends up happening is we continually reinjure the shoulder through our daily activities. Treatments: Ultrasound and/or Radiant Energy treatments dramatically increase the blood flow and reduce inflammation constant motion is what keeps the blood flowing through that area Cold compression wraps are highly effective at both reducing inflammation and preventing its return in between therapeutic treatments.

You always ice muscle, tendon, and ligament damage to prevent swelling and further potential damage. It used to be that after the first day or two after an injury, you would apply heat to bring healing blood circulation to the area. It has been found in the past couple of years that ice is somewhat better at bringing healing blood to the damaged area. Either heat or cold will be OK to apply after the first day or two after the injury.
Should you apply heat after an injury?
Applying heat after an injury is generally not recommended in the initial stages, especially within the first 48 hours. Ice or cold therapy is preferred to reduce swelling and numb pain. Heat can increase blood flow and potentially exacerbate inflammation if used too soon. After the acute phase, heat may be beneficial for promoting relaxation and improving mobility.
When do you apply heat to a hamstring injury?
Heat should be applied to a hamstring injury during the rehabilitation phase, typically after the initial acute phase (first 48-72 hours) when swelling and inflammation have subsided. It helps to relax tight muscles, improve blood circulation, and promote healing. However, avoid using heat if there is still significant swelling or acute pain, as it may exacerbate the injury. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
