Suggest cause & treatment for pinging pain with a crack in shoulder
Patient: Hi, 4 months ago I had shoulder surgery, SAD and ac joint excision, several weeks after this I was in bed and there was an almighty crack with severe pain, and has been really bad since, I feel a pinging pain from my shoulder to half way down my arm, this is also swollen, please help Doctor: Hello,  Your symptoms could be related to a ruptured ligament. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your orthopedist and performing an X-ray study of the shoulder joint. Inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR) should be checked too.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
