A member asked:
Mri diagnosed supraspinatus tendonitis, have done pt for 5 months, chiropractor care, and pain management steroid injection no results. pain is on back of shoulder, not top or front. i have been working with pain management, should i see orthopedic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See orthopedic: Something is missing. Steroid inj. will not help unless the diagnosis correct. I do not think you should seek pain management. If diagnosed correctly & treated you will be painless or minimal pain.
