How To Heal Shoulder and Elbow Injuries If You've Been In Pain For Two Months or More Without Medication or Surgery!
If you’re had a shoulder or elbow injury that’s been causing pain and discomfort for at least two months, you’re in the right place. Whether you had a recent injury where the pain hasn’t gone away on its own, or you’ve had this pain for a while now, it’s important not to let the pain drag out longer than it needs to.
When it comes to dealing with shoulder and elbow injuries, here’s what everybody wants to know …
"I don't understand, why am I in pain?
or
"I've been dealing with pain in my elbow/shoulder area for months (maybe years), why am I still suffering from this?"
Lots of people think that their pain will go away on its own, or it’ll get better by doing some simple exercises.
They hope that they wake up one morning, and the pain will just be gone. But several months or years later, you’re still living with constant pain in the elbow or shoulder region, and it’s even worse than when it first started.
Does that sound familiar?
Another situation we hear about all the time in our physical therapy clinic is how a patient’s Doctor told them to “take medication” and “take it easy.”
This is rarely the best advice. Usually they end up going back to the doctor a few weeks later because there has been no improvement. Often the next course of action is a prescription for stronger medication and more rest.
This type of “treatment” is why so many people that have sustained an elbow or shoulder injury have no lasting improvement. Many times a relatively minor injury turns into a chronic (long term) issue. It’s then no surprise that you are often pushed into taking stronger medication and persuaded to get unnecessary surgeries.
Has This or Something Similar Happened To You?
Why isn’t your elbow or shoulder injury going away? It’s not your fault. You’ve been told different things by a bunch of different people. Lot’s of people out there are giving advice that isn’t credible.
Even the doctors who are supposed to know what they’re doing keep on providing temporary solutions that don’t actually keep your pain gone and get you back to doing the hobbies and activities you’ve been missing out on.
This often leads to you believing that your situation can’t improve, that you need to “accept” it and adjust your lifestyle in order to live with this “new normal.” Or you agree to more serious medical interventions like surgery because the doctor said that’s what “has to be done to fix it.”
Do You Feel That Way?
If You’re Living With an Elbow or Shoulder Injury, Here’s 7 More Reasons Why It Might Be Lasting Longer Than It Should
- 1. You thought the pain would eventually go away by itself - but it didn't
- 2. You went to the doctor, sometimes even more than one, only to be told to "rest" and "take some painkillers." But the pills didn't help your pain, and as soon as they wore off, you were back to square one.
- 3. You went to an orthopedic surgeon or other "specialist" who recommended steroid injections or surgery.
- 4. You have been told by your doctors that there isn't much you can do about it. You can "massage it a little" and "give it time."
- 5. You went to a physical therapist only to be put on a bunch of different machines. The therapist would then spend a few minutes, showing you some simple exercises and then handed you a sheet of paper with more exercises to do at home. All of this did nothing to ease your pain quickly, if at all.
- 6. You went on Youtube or Google to find exercises for shoulder and elbow injuries, but they either didn't do anything long term or made the pain a lot worse.
- 7. You thought it would be best to rest and "take it easy" because it was hard to use your arm, but all the extra rest did was make the area even stiffer and tighter.

"What Can I Do To Get Rid Of My Elbow or Shoulder Injury Quickly?"...
Well, here’s 4 things you can do:
- The first thing is that you need to make a decision about getting help. There so many people that procrastinate because they think that their pain will “go away on its own given enough time.” But then 6 months later nothing has changed, or it got worse.
- Do the RIGHT exercises – Remember, if you’ve been in pain for more than two months, exercises alone are not enough! When used in combination with MyoMelt Therapy one of the best things to help heal your injury is to do the right types of stretches and progressive exercises. At the same time, doing the wrong exercises can aggravate your elbow or shoulder even more, so you have to be careful who you’re getting advice from. The specific exercises we can give you will help reduce pain and stiffness. This means that you’ll be moving and getting back to your active life – quickly. The right exercise plan will also help make sure the problems don’t come back anytime soon.
- Avoid “doing nothing” and long periods of rest – have you ever felt pain or tightness after being stuck in one position for a long time? It could be while driving, sleeping, or even when you’re on the couch watching a long movie. That’s because resting and “doing nothing” while trying to protect the injured area can actually aggravate the muscles and make them painful, stiff, or tight. Doing the right strengthening exercises, stretches, and getting hands-on treatment can help you get active again. It’ll also help you feel a lot more comfortable on those days when you do want to go on a long drive or hang out on the couch.
- You need to get real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy treatment. The “right kind” of Physical Therapy is proven to help people with elbow and shoulder injuries. It’s one of the most common injuries we see at Project Physical Therapy. If your pain is affecting your ability to stay active, do sports, excel at your hobbies and activities, or threatens your career – we can help you get back to living the life on your terms as quickly as possible.
Note: This Free Discovery Visit is something we offer to people who are unsure about Physical Therapy. If you’re nervous, skeptical, or just unsure how physical therapy will benefit you, please start with this discovery visit. We will work to find out what’s wrong and how we can fix it – without any risk on your part.
