Don't Suffer With Shoulder Pain
Forty years ago, Patrick G., injured his right shoulder. Following the initial injury, when he played sports, he’d have pain, but the next day it would be gone. As years went by, the pain lasted longer and was more severe, eventually limiting the use of his arm to the point where he could no longer perform normal activities of daily living. That’s when he decided to see Steward Health Care Orthopedic Surgeon Pamela Jones, MD, and he hasn’t looked back.
Thumbs Up for Hand Care
Each time you tie your shoes, shampoo your hair, cook a meal, tap out an email or a text message, or brush your teeth, you’re using one of the most important parts of your body: your hands. Usually, hand or arm movements seamlessly involve the ability of joints to move, tendons to slide, and muscles to contract.
