Paging the OT doctors.

Question. I have a bad shoulder to say the least (two reconstructions, arthritis, degenerating joints.). It causes me pain all the time and sometimes I lose the ability to grip and my hand gets weak. I am not interested in more surgery and would like to stay away from prescription pain pills if I can. Does anyone know of any natural remedies or PT type exercises I can do? Thanks.

Find a better doctor for your third surgery.

Guy I had was really good. I just screwed it up by going to work too early.

That is actually a good idea. But, I am subject to random drug screens at my job so that is out for me.

Yep. And I have a nice set of cadaver ligaments, less bone (sawed the hell off), and new hardware for my troubles.

Page OT physical therapists or holistic medicine experts?
Seriously though, have you tried steroid injections in your shoulder? If you aren't interested in surgery then a mix of therapy, injections, and prescription pain control (no don't take them daily but at least have them for an as needed back-up) may be your best bet. Try looking for a Physiatrist in your area (a doctor who specialized in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation). They are kind of like an Orthopedist who doesn't operate and a lot of times are part of an Orthopedics group. They can usually help coordinate something like this or provide you with alternative options

Did you have ligament reconstruction or replacement (new ball and socket)?
Either way PT may give you some help, but is not the thing that you can just learn a few exercises on the Internet, look up some good PTs in you area and get an appointment
have you ever had any neck issues ? and that sounds like where a lot of your current problems are. You need a full work up by a competent ortho to figure out a plan of care, and will probably start with neck and shoulder MRI and more importantly a nerve conduction study and thorough physical exam

Sounds a lot like what I have as well. My shoulder is pretty solid, except for the occasional loud "pop." My issue is around my rhomboid/left scapula area (had surgery here as well). I've done about all you can do to it and nothing works. Stretching helps, but I hate stretching.

You may be broken beyond repair for this. Above is a link to active release practitioners. I would discuss this option with your ortho specialist before getting an opinion.
No guaranties, just a different perspective if that is what you desire.
Good luck. Stay strong
