Where can i seek pain management for shoulder osteonecrosis?

Orthopaedic surgeon: Osteonecrosis of the shoulder affects the humeral head. Sometimes it only requires pain control while the blood supply is re-established. If the articular surface of the humeral head is involved, a resurfacing arthroplasty may be needed.
