ATMNIRBHAR BHARAT- UNDERSTAND YOUR SHOULDER

Something clicked into my mind very recently when our Prime Minister Spoke on AtmNirbhar Bharat. I thought why not to empower our citizens with enough knowledge so that they can save their time,Money and energy for seeing a doctor straightaway

  
I am starting with shoulder pain today as someone in his 40 hasjust seeked my help as he is having pain in his shoulder since Feb 2020,He gave a history of sudden stuck by his shoulder while rising up,Now his chief complaints are that he cant raise his arm above shoulder height without severe pain.He also explains that while resting on that arm brings lot of pain,Plus it pains while  changing feel like a sudden blow.
WHIlE EXAMINATION I observed that when shoulder is elevated in internal rotation position of shoulder it pains,whereas there is NO pain in doing elevation when shoulder is in external rotation.Video of how to do simple examination of shoulder by ONE-SELF

With simple advise of REST from provocation of pain and with some support from Physiotherapy and Non steroidal Ant inflammatory drugs ,he is 90% better and is feeling he has improved to such extent.MY CONCLUSIONS ARE :

•  Identify root of one's problem by the methods I told,one can easily treat oneself. 

• Its the Diagnosis which is important . Diagnosis is mostly possible without any Xray/CT/MRI scan. (especially in cases I am telling here or intend to tell in future).

• In this case the Rest from Provocation is doing magic. He completely refrained from raising arm with internal rotation,avoided resting on arm.
