A shoulder injury, however caused, can cause months (or even years) of pain and restricted movement.You may not even remember the incident that caused it! Some injuries to the shoulder build up over a long time; repetitive movements can cause overuse injuries, much like those that happen to the wrist muscles (RSI). The muscles that sit on the top of the shoulder and extend for a handspan down the arm are called the deltoids. These are powerful muscles and lift your arms out to the sides and up, and assist with forehand and backhand movements. It is quite a feat to "pull" a deltoid (i.e cause a tear in the muscle), and most people who come to me with shoulder problems haven't actually damaged the deltoid, but one of the smaller muscles near it. |

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a physician uses an arthroscope to evaluate or to treat meniscus injuries, for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and to treat cartilage microfracturing. The arthroscope (one of the the surgical tools used in the surgery) is inserted into the knee joint through a small incision that your physician will make. This incision is approximately 4 mm (1/8 inch) in length. |

Most clinical words ending in "itis" means inflammation of some sort - for example, peritonitis and laryngitis. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac which prevents muscle insertions rubbing on bones within your body. Most cases of bursitis respond well to conservative treatment, and may not recur if the appropriate remedial and rehabilitation exercises are done regularly. |

Frozen shoulder can be very painful and can cause immobility to the shoulder joint. The medical term for this is adhesive capsulitis. Inflammation and scarring of the capsule around the shoulder joint can cause frozen shoulder. This scarring is also known as adhesions. It is important to get a proper diagnosis of frozen shoulder. An injury to the shoulder and arthritis can have the frozen shoulder symptoms. |

When a person suffers a personal injury, particularly of a serious nature, it can be very hard to find the will to pick up and carry on. There are many causes of injury on this scale and any one of them can happen in the blink of an eye. Car crashes are the most common, where the body is propelled forward at an alarming rate, this will often cause serious personal injury to either the head or spinal cord. Other activities, such as diving or horse riding are also often responsible for catastrophic injuries. |
