Rohan Reddy, a 28-year-old software engineer...
Rohan Reddy, a 28-year-old software engineer and weekend cricket enthusiast, began experiencing a sharp, persistent pain in his right shoulder while bowling. Initially dismissing it as a strain, the pain worsened over three months, becoming a constant ache that disrupted his sleep and made even typing at work painful. An MRI confirmed calcific tendinitis in his supraspinatus tendon, with a large calcium deposit causing significant inflammation. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sharma, recommended an ultrasound-guided barbotage procedure to break up and aspirate the calcific deposit, explaining it as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery. During the 30-minute procedure, Rohan felt pressure and some discomfort but was relieved to be awake and see the chalky material being withdrawn on the ultrasound screen. In the weeks following, he adhered to a strict physiotherapy regimen. Within six weeks, his pain had reduced by 80%, and he gradually returned to light gym workouts. Emotionally, Rohan felt frustrated and aged by his injury, fearing it would end his active lifestyle. Post-procedure, he felt a profound sense of hope and relief, regaining confidence in his body's ability to heal.
