Painful shoulder, rotator cuff, tears, pain and arm's dysfunctionAbstract
A previously healthy 52 years old woman, started with pain and dysfunction of her left arm, at the beginning she was treated conservatively with NSAIDS. Her symptoms continued and based on radiographic studies, she recived therapeutic intra-articular shoulder injections. Her medical situation got worse, and she was to have a rotator cuff tear, she needed surgery to repair the tear and physical therapy, achieving almost total recovery of her shoulder function. Since painful shoulder syndrome has been increasing because of ageing, work and the body's intrinsic factors, that's why it is important to remind this medical condition.
