A sudden appearance of Popeye’s biceps is a sign of shoulder tendon rupture!
A man in his 70s said that six months ago, while lifting a heavy object, he heard a popping sound and his biceps bulged on his arm.
At first glance, it looks like the muscles have grown, but this is a phenomenon that occurs when the biceps brachii tendon ruptures and the muscles go down. It is called the ‘Popeye sign’ because it is reminiscent of Popeye’s biceps. If the pain is severe and the shoulder cannot be moved well, there is a possibility that it may be accompanied by other shoulder diseases such as rotator cuff tear.
This man in his 70s, who had Popeye’s sign, also suffered from extreme pain that prevented him from sleeping at night, and his shoulder range of motion was so limited that he could not turn his arm back, so he went to the hospital. A diagnosis confirmed that his biceps brachii and rotator cuff were torn. What kind of treatment should I receive if two shoulder tendons are torn?
Rotator cuff tear, when should I have surgery?
In the past 10 years, the number of patients with rotator cuff tears and deformities has increased rapidly from about 460,000 to about 860,000. The causes of rotator cuff tears are aging and trauma. The two causes may act in combination. Therefore, it is believed that the number of patients with rotator cuff tears has increased rapidly as the exercise and hobby activities of middle-aged people in their 50s or older, who are aging faster, increase.
Additionally, rotator cuff rupture is one of the diseases that people in occupations that use their shoulders a lot need to be most careful about. A woman in her 60s who had been making clothes for a long time went to the hospital because of shoulder pain and was diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear. The woman, who had relatively mild pain and limited range of motion in her shoulder, is receiving medication and exercise therapy. Meanwhile, another woman in her 60s, who suffered from severe pain and her shoulder was so unreliable that she could not vacuum, underwent rotator cuff repair surgery. Even though they were diagnosed with the same rotator cuff tear, one person underwent surgery and the other did not. When should I have surgery for a rotator cuff tear? The doctor introduces in detail the treatment methods that vary depending on the degree of rotator cuff tear.
Frozen shoulder, treatment varies depending on the stage!
A woman in her 60s said she had never been able to hug her grandchildren due to sudden, severe shoulder pain. Her symptoms were similar to her rotator cuff tear, but she was diagnosed with frozen shoulder. The exact name of frozen shoulder is adhesive capsulitis, which refers to a disease in which the sac called the joint capsule surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed and hardened. Frozen shoulder is a disease that goes through three stages: inflammatory stage, freezing stage, and thawing stage, depending on the time of progression and symptoms. On average, pain and limited range of motion develop over a period of about two years and eventually disappear. In the long run, it is a disease that can be cured naturally.
So, does frozen shoulder need no treatment? This is one of the biggest misconceptions about frozen shoulder. Recovery from frozen shoulder can be accelerated if appropriate treatment is received in the early stages when the pain is severe. Additionally, if you do not receive treatment, your quality of life may decrease due to severe pain, and your shoulder may become more stiff.
How does the treatment for each stage of frozen shoulder differ? Let’s look at treatments that can treat frozen shoulder with a doctor.
From rehabilitation exercises to artificial joint surgery! How to protect your shoulders?
How effective is rehabilitation for patients suffering from terrible shoulder pain? Professor Lim always provides exercise therapy to patients with frozen shoulder and rotator cuff tears. Shoulder stretching and strength training can help patients with frozen shoulder prevent their shoulders from becoming severely stiff. Patients who have undergone surgery for a rotator cuff tear can also reduce the risk of re-rupture and recover shoulder function more quickly when combined with exercise therapy. So what is a shoulder exercise method that anyone can easily follow? Let’s learn the exercise method taught by a shoulder disease expert.
Meanwhile, what about patients who need artificial joint surgery, the last resort to restore shoulder function? We introduce the highly difficult retrograde artificial joint replacement surgery process and learn about post-artificial joint surgery care through patients who regained a healthy shoulder after artificial joint surgery.
Broadcast on EBS 1TV at 9:55 pm on Friday, May 3 <명의> In the ‘What is the key to relieving terrible shoulder pain?’, we will hear from Professor Lim Tae-gang about how to treat and prevent shoulder diseases such as rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder, and arthritis that cause extreme pain.
