This was very helpful for me! Been to 3 Physical therapists for my repeated facet injuries. Right now, even physical therapy exercises can cause me a good amount of pain. Really excited to have a window to tackle PT hard 💪

Hi. If you pop on my channel and see the rotator cuff videos on there then should be some things to help you out. You want to get that range back and build the stability

Hi, thanks for your video. Question regarding a knee tear in which there is no pain except at night, no inflammation, full movement, except can't jog. Just a 5 mm tear in meniscus as per MRI. Can a steroid injection heal the tear? Thank you.

@JonWSportsInjury 11 ай бұрын

Hi. Thanks for your question. No a steroid injection won’t heal the tear. The aim of the injection will be to remove the inflammation that might occur as a result of the tear. In terms of repairing the tear that would be a small operation called an arthroscopy. However, we are seeing a lot now that symptoms can be removed with good physio work so I would certainly try that first

@jonwspotsinjury Thanks so much for taking the time to clarify the actual purpose of a steroid injection. Our GP said a steroid injection, which he would do himself, would heal the tear, and there is no need for an Orthopedic referral. Very frustrating, unfortunately.

I hurt my back deadlifting first day i hade no pain day2 i hade a small amount of pain when bending forward now on day 5 the pain is crazy should i inject 8L of Trenbolone acetate? For a speedy recovery

I never see the use of injection as something that should be done quickly. I think you would be better placed getting it assessed and understanding what is the cause of pain. I hope that helps and you recover quickly

Ive had 3 shots in the same shoulder joint in the last 3 years, each a year apart from the other.. do you think i will be at risk for any wear on my tendons, bones, or cartilage? Or should everything be all good

@JonWSportsInjury 5 ай бұрын

I am sure all good. My focus now would be on understanding what is causing the shoulder issue and how this can be worked on. I have a few videos on the channel around rotator cuff but hopefully a good PT can get that sorted for you

@@JonWSportsInjury me too. Doc didnt say anything about it healing on its own though. He only mentioned that over time nerve endings should burn off and it shouldnt bother me anymore lol. In your experience, when do the cortisone shots begin to effect a persons body in a negative way, such as breaking down tendons and cartilage?

I broke my right arm humerus.. now after ORIF surgery and physiotherapy session i can do all kind of gym workouts.. but still my right deltoid and triceps looks skinny than my left.. what should i do? Does testosterone help me to gain size on my right arm?

Remember sadly muscle wastes at an incredible rate to its growth. So it will take a while to return mass. Be patient and focused. Thanks for the comment

Dear Doctor, I had a mild ACL sprain(left knee)4 days ago. It’s not that painful but it my left knee is not as strong as my right healthy knee. I’m 43. I want to go back to gym soon. Should I get a injection? Or should I get physiotherapy and strengthening program?

@JonWSportsInjury 5 ай бұрын

I personally would concentrate on the strengthening and physio aspect at just four days into your rehab. This will ultimately prevent any further complications for you and have you fit for the gym asap

@@subratatarafdar2080 you can try ultrasound. I must admit we stopped using this as a treatment option many years ago. As it is early I would speak to your Physio and ask for a treatment plan so they can advise you of how they plan to return you to fitness

I must admit this may be a question more for a doctor. It would be wrong for me to answer specifically but from my clinic experience my general answer would be yes
