What causes horrible nightmares?
Patient: In March of 2014 I fell on the ice. In May of 2014 I had rotor cuff surgery. I had one tendon completely torn loose, two others ripped and one bi-cep shattered. The tendons were repaired and the bi-cep was cut loose. Since the accident I have experienced horrible nightmares. Especially on nights when my pain level is high. Can these nightmares be because of the pain? Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Yes. You are right. The night mares were due to the agony and pain you were in. The nightmares should be discontinued around three to six months time.
