InterX Labral tear rotator cuff
Permalink   
 


My daughter is a college athlete and had surgery on her shoulder last July.  She's in very little pain while conditioning (2 on sale of 1-10) and has not complained at all to the trainers.  Knowing she had the surgery, they did some sort of test this week to measure her pain and said while the average was 50-55, hers was 330, then measured three more at 310 and finally 160 the last 2 times.  They're doing something with IntereX and told her this would increase her pain level as she has a high pain tolerance, which it did but not to the point that she stopped conditioning.  Now, they have some sort of black patch on her shoulder for the weekend. 
She thinks this might be something experimental- am I making any sense and do
you know what might be going on?  I don't really want to ask as this is her first month away in college.   I'm not concerned, just curious.

Thanks.

i apologise that you didn't get any response soon... i was hoping that at my absence some of the therapists would step in into discussion about your case.

I am sure that by now your daughter has recovered, if not, let me know.

Just for your peace of mind, i must reassure that InterX is not an experiemental tool and has been used, tried and tested for many years. The technology was used in Europe for over past 25 years. The InterX device is an approved medical device in almost every country in the world, including the US ( FDA). It doesn't have side effects as it only encouriges the body to utilise natural resources in to heal faster and with less pain.

I am curious, how is she doing now?

Hi All;Great to hear some feedback to my post! And not just bcuaese we all seem to agreeing with each other . A couple comments I would add relative to the older, degenerative shoulder patient population my feeling on why the sleeper stretch irritates this population is that the stretch targets not just the posterior capsule but also the posterior cuff muscles/tendons and in this population there is that high incidence of degenerative cuffs (i.e. partial tears) so pretty likely we are irritating this tissue. If I still feel strongly that my patient's limitation in IR-ROM needs to be addressed I will do the stretch with the patient seated, back supported against chair or wall, instruct them to retract their scapula and then apply the same IR-ROM stretch to the shoulder with the arm in more of a 90 degree scaption position. Even better if you can have your patient rest their elbow on the edge of a plinth or table while doing this. The stretch is not generally comfy so in this population with cuff degeneration we probably need to be mindful of how much force we instruct patients to apply. Thanks!Judy
