Dear friends,
I have found best results in
these cases with MUA (MANIPULATION OF SHOULDER under anesthesia) followed
by 12 hrs elevation of limb with active movements.
With regards.

Subject: Re: shoulder hand syndrome
| Shoulder-hand syndrome is a vasomotor disturbance in the hand with
associated preceding or simultaneous shoulder pain. It may follow surgery,
trauma to the arm, myocardial infarct, cervical disorders and lung tumours.
It is a kind of refelx sympathetic dystrophy. Usually it follows three
stages, though may resolve at any time:
| Stage 1: Shoulder pain and stiffness and hand pain and stiffness. Hand is
red, swollen, oedematous and sweaty.
| Stage 2: Stiffness of the hand worse, swelling and pain improves. Atrophy
of muscles. Shoulder behaves like an adhesive capsulitis.
| Stage 3: Flexion deformity of fingers, atrophy, no vasomotor changes.
|
| Hope this helps.
