Myths
Shoulder pain does not necessarily mean damage
“Damage” to the rotator cuff of the shoulder does not mean I need surgery
If my shoulder is constantly making noises or crepitus, that is not a sign that something is wrong
Imaging tests (MRI, CT, X-ray) are not necessary if I have shoulder pain
“My shoulder hurts and I don't move it much....” Wrong!
“The cortisone shot will fix my arm and the pain will go away....” Wrong!
Truths
Shoulder pain is common even when there is no damage to the joint
Most people who have a tear in the rotator cuff do not always complain of pain or have any symptoms
Damage to the rotator cuff is not a predisposing factor for shoulder pain
Imaging tests are usually only necessary in traumatic shoulder conditions
Using the arm even when in pain and strengthening the arm reduces the pain
Diet, sleep and general health play an important role in shoulder pain
Cortisone may provide brief relief of symptoms but it takes a long time for the arm to become fully functional again
The term “shoulder arthritis” is considered inadequate in today's world.
