De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

James D. Cataldi

My 17-year-old self decided it would better to lose a wrestling match on points and get a dislocated shoulder than to give up a pin. This came back to haunt me many years later and by the time I got to Dr. Gulotta, I couldn’t raise my hand above my shoulder. 12 weeks after the surgery I started weight training as part of my rehabilitation. A year and a half later I was stronger than I’d ever been. It’s now been 5 years and I’m stronger, have complete range of motion and no pain at all. My experience with Dr. Gulotta and HSS was literally life changing.
