"They just had to remove some calcification and a little bit of bone and I'm doing my physio and I'm all fine.

"I'm doing fine and I'm doing lots of different exercises and I'm getting there," she continued, before Dr. Hilary agreed: "You've got to do your physio, it's very important."

Shoulder calcification, like Lorraine had, results in pain over the top of the shoulder and down the arm, with the pain worse when lifting the arm away from the body. It normally occurs in people over 40.

The keyhole surgery Lorraine had is normally performed under general anaesthetic, and sees the calcium deposits removed, with the area rinsed through.

Patients report a 90% success rate, with 60% of patients feeling better within six weeks, and 80-90% within three months. We're wishing Lorraine a speedy recovery!
