A member asked:
Should surgery be performed for a shoulder impingement condition?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Shoulder impingement: Last option should be surgery. Physical therapy for posture principles for neck and shoulder as well as scapular stabilizer muscle and rotator cuff muscle strengthening. This should reestablish the normal scapulohumeral motion and eliminate impingement.

Sometimes: Surgery for impingement should be a last resort if conservative measures have failed. Nsaids, physical therapy and possible cortisone injections are the initial treatments.

Second Opinion: Impingement is a generic term and doesn't really give us the anatomic cause for your shoulder pain.
