Articles and research PRP compared to steroid injection for lumbar radiculopathy Epidural steroid injections are given to reduce inflammation in the nerves that pass through the spinal canal.

Learn More Elbow Pain, Wrist Pain -  Ulnar Nerve – triangular fibrocartilage complex   Wrist pain on the ulnar side is pain on the side of your wrist opposite your thumb. It may come as the result of acute injury or it may be the product of degenerative wear and tear. It is especially painful in athletes or workers during gripping as in a gold club, a tennis racquet, or tool or in any activity where turning or twisting the wring is needed, which for some people may be just about everything they do. Some patients may hear a clicking or popping sound coming from their wrist. The problem with ulnar wrist pain is getting the right diagnosis. Learn More Failed  shoulder replacement surgeries   People have very successful shoulder surgeries. But what about the few that do not? In the worst case of shoulder replacement I have seen, an elderly man presented with right shoulder pain. When I asked him to lift his arms, he lifted his right arm, but had no motion at all in his left shoulder. I was perplexed and asked if his left shoulder also hurt. His response was alarming. He told me he had a left shoulder replacement, and the arm prosthesis had dislocated out the shoulder, and he had absolutely no use of his left arm since the dislocation that could not be relocated into the false joint. He obviously wanted to avoid surgery to his right shoulder. Learn More Marc Darrow, JD.
