Join Dr. Alejandro Badia and his patient, Uwe, one month after she received her second corticosteroid injection to treat a severe, non-surgical tendon problem. In this follow-up visit, Uwe shares her amazing progress: her constant night pain has subsided, and she has regained a significant range of motion, allowing her to easily reach her neck and behind her back.
Interestingly, Uwe compares her current conservative treatment to a minimally invasive surgery she had 12 years ago, noting that stubborn tendon issues can sometimes feel more challenging to overcome than surgical procedures. Dr. Badia and Uwe highlight a crucial takeaway for anyone dealing with orthopedic pain: the injection is a tool to relieve pain so you can properly engage in physical therapy. Committing to therapy and home exercises is the ultimate key to recovery!
