What causes fluid build up in the shoulder? had surgery 7 months ago & still having pain & limited rom.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid is unusual: Stiffness is a common postoperative problem but fluid in or around the joint is quite unusual. The stiffness can be addressed with pt usually more successful early after surgery (within 3 months of surgery) or a revision surgery may be needed if you lack significant motion.
