Hello. If the cyst is too big and is compressing the supraescapular nerve, causing pain with tingling sensation, then you should do the surgery. But I must tell you that in most of the times, the paralabral cyst don't cause pain, what makes me think: are you sure that's the only problem. Anyway, the paralabral cyst must be closed with a surgery. If you just drain it, it will come back
Have had shoulder pain in both shoulders since November 2023 been thru therapy 2 months very little relief orthopedic surgeon wants to inject both shoulders blindly what are your thoughts
Hello, Im a shoulder surgeon. If you have indication to do the injection, do it. For shoulder surgeons, the use of ultrassound for shoulder injection is not necessary.
