Left shoulder pain for 4mos after car accident.ortho says it's rotatorcuf tendinitis&bursitis but chiro. says it might be something more.wht cud it be?

"something more?": "something more," seems to imply nerve pain, which is always a concern after trauma especially involving the neck. Nerve-related pain typically would not be confined to the shoulder though; it would shoot down the arm and possibly be associated with weakness. If the pain is in the shoulder only, ortho docs are the definitive experts here. Cuff pain can persist for months, especially without PT.

??confused : I'm confused. You say Ortho told you what it was ? But you're asking what it could be ??? Why don't you believe him/her? Is it not responding to the recommended treatment ? If not, maybe see another Ortho for a second opinion. ( chiros aren't real doctors) If they both agree you are probably in good hands.
