My mother was complaining of shoulder pain and stiffness all day yesterday. She said it felt tight and sore. When she tried to lift her arm over her head, she started crying and stuff. At four o'clock this morning, she woke my dad up and he took her to the hospital. I only saw her in her room once. The doctors were talking about bone marrow and paralisis in her shoulder. She can move it if absolutely nessicary, but it hurts her alot. They are keeping her overnight and waiting for a bone specialist. Is it really serious? What could happen? Will she need major surgery? What could cause it? Please give as much information as possible.

The answer in your case is best left in the care of the professionals caring for you mother. As them these questions about her case instead of worring about the dozens of possible causes and outcomes. It could be a relatively common rotator cuff injury or a bunch of other causes. Without much more information and selective testing, it's just guessing.

The cost of shoulder surgery is very low in India as compared to USA,UK and Canada. You can get the surgery done there in a fraction of cost of what would you pay in USA or private UK
There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges orthopaedic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.
I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as all surgery is not covered by insurance or by NHS in the UK.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your shoulder surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
My cousin also got her shoulder surgery for in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results.She is totally pain free now.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company. hope this helps.
I would recommend this company to you as you are willing to travel abroad and get the surgery at low cost.
