  • Why does my shoulder hurt?

    In this article I am going to talk about some of the things that can make our shoulders hurt and what sort of things to expect if you visit a shoulder Surgeon. I won’t include fresh injuries here.

    Don’t forget, even though you consult a shoulder Surgeon, the chances are that you won’t actually need an operation! Most of my work doesn’t involve surgery. It’s best to think of a Surgeon as a Shoulder Specialist who can also operate if needed.
