Specializes in Pain Management

Rotator cuff: Other options - raising the dose of Exalgo as long as you do have side effects from this, topical medicants like pennsaid, possible a tens unit, compounded medicants that have a variety of different medications in them, cold laser (loe level laser treatment), shoulder joint injections may be considered as well. As a last resort a peripheral nerve stimulator or possibly a spinal stimulator.
