Various causes of shoulder pain have been described. This lady presented with nonspecific right(Rt) severe shoulder pain radiating to the hand she could not sleep for 1 year with weakness at thenar eminence. The patient had history of 2 shoulder arthroscopic procedures within1 month interval. Postoperative Rt shoulder MRI evaluation revealed supraspinatous partial thickness tear, subscapularis tendinopathy and superior labrum tear from anterior to posterior(SLAP). The patient was treated successfully with a Multimodal Intereventional Pain management techniques and after6 months she was able to successfully move her shoulder without pain and regain muscle power. Introduction: Shoulder pain is one of the most frequent musculoskeletal complaints, which increases with age(1). Surgery is more successful in patients under age 40 SLAP tears(2). Common shoulder problems in old age include rotator cuff injury, secondary impingement &SLAP .Less common causes include nerve injuries(1)& long thoracic nerve in addition to vascular problems(2).One mechanism involves forceful traction on biceps tendon when someone falls onto an outstretched arm(3).The neurovascular causes can be difficult to diagnose& require special diagnostic tests such as EMG, dynamic ultrasound (US) and MRI(4). Consensus is lacking on the ideal treatment. Multimodal techniques includes Interventional-based therapy that has shown significant results in treating many conditions, including osteoarthritis (OA). Aim: The objective is to describe a multimodal interventional pain management approach in the treatment of persistent shoulder pain after failed surgery. Methods: The procedure was performed at Safwet Al-Golf Hospital, Cairo, Egypt, for a 60 years old female diabetic patient with a long-term history of untreated shoulder pain. She underwent 2 shoulder arthroscopic procedures on August & November 2021 respectively, progressed postoperatively with standard rehabilitation to increase the range of movement (ROM), however there had been no improvement. On examination, the patient had Rt dermatomal C5,6, 7 hypothesia. Bed side US examination showed Rt subscapularis tendinopathy& impingement,Rt supraspinatous partial thickness tear(Fig.1,2) & impingement,Subacromion sub-deltoid bursitis(SASD), effusion at gelnohumeral joint. MRI Rt shoulder revealed, previous surgery in the form of acromioplasty, biceps tenotomy and interosseous repair, Acromio-clavicular (AC) Joint OA, partial thickness tear of supraspinatus tendon, subscapularis tendinopathy, SLAP injury & Degenerated Anterior Glenoid labrum. She was unable to initiate abduction & limited ROM at medial and lateral rotation with severe pain. The patient completed numerical rating scale (NRS), verbally reported at the beginning of each visit, indicating her level of pain on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain. At the initial visit she reported 10 on NRS. The patient scheduled for interventional pain management procedure.
