Shoulder pain and herniated disks

Asked for Male, 58 years

I had two back surgeries due to bulging/herniated discs . The surgeries were a success but then two years after my last surgery I was in car accident that caused the same disc and several others to be herniated and causing sciatica, and upper and lower neuropathy. They said a third surgery was not an option& prescribed topomax and Lorcet 10/650. Now I have severe pain in right shoulder.MRI shows possible rotator tear. I've been on pain meds for 10 yrs. what to do now?

Dear Patient,

It may be possible that you need surgery for your shoulder. Did the surgeon say why a third surgery isn't possible? If you are physically fit otherwise then they may fix your back and shoulder in one surgery. You may consult another doctor for a second opinion with all your reports and discharge papers. Local steroid injections may be given to relieve your pain if surgery isn't an option. Hope you feel better.
