Shoulder pain is one of the most common presentations of musculoskeletal pain with population prevalence of between 7 and 26 %. The most common pathology that affects the shoulder joint is rotator cuff syndrome. The most important aspects in the management of patient with shoulder pain by general practitioner are to ensure an accurate diagnosis and to start the appropriate treatment on time. The main direction of rotator cuff syndrome treatment includes a period of rest from the exacerbating activity and taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In some cases the use of the NSAIDs is not possible, so we decided to suggest an alternative non-pharmacological method of treatment. We treated a patient with rotator cuff syndrome by injections of autologous plasma into the affected muscles and projections of entheses that were involved in the pathological process. We obtained positive results. The shoulder pain had been reduced, mobility and movement had been improved after a course of autologous plasma injections. In our opinion, it is expedient to consider such treatment of the rotator cuff syndrome both as an additional method and separately in case of impossibility of prescribing the main therapy.

Suprascapular nerve palsy has been frequently reported in athletes, particularly baseball pitchers, volleyball players, and weight lifters, but it is easily overlooked during the evaluation of shoulder pain. Entrapment of the suprascapular nerve is usually suspected only after atrophy is noted. The presence of painless weakness of the external rotator muscles should alert the clinician to the presence of nerve damage, which can be confirmed by electromyography. This case study demonstrates the usefulness of isokinetic testing and magnetic resonance imaging in identifying cystic lesions causing neuropathy among athletes who have failed conservative treatment for shoulder pain.
