Orthopedic Pro Tip: Don’t Push Through the Pain - Kenneth Accousti, MD

Dr. Kenneth Accousti is an orthopedic surgeon with Mary Washington Orthopedics in affiliation with FOA in Fredericksburg, VA, specializing in shoulder surgery. Dr. Accousti has some pro tips on dealing with shoulder pain, including taking an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen, heat (not ice), and rest. The "no pain, no gain" mentality doesn't work when you're having shoulder pain. When things hurt, it's your body's check engine light telling you something is wrong. Don't try to push through the pain or you may prolong the injury.
