I have had this happen before to my right shoulder, but everytime I move my right arm a certain way or to a certain level or put a certain about of weight on it i get a sharp pain, not in my whole entire shoulder area, but basicly just in the front. I wonder if it is a torn or strained rotator cuff or something similar to that, Ideas? and if so solutions. I already have ice on it and not moving it much.
Thanks!

When I sit on any hard surface it triggers upper back and left shoulder pain, sometimes even neck pain. Does this sound like a pinched nerve?

I woke up about 2 nights ago with a pain in my left shoulder blade and it has not gone away…it feels like I slept crooked that night and maybe I might have pulled something? I dont know. My entire right shoulder and shoulder blade seem to be fine, it doesnt hurt, it only seems to be on my left side…and this morning when I woke up, I looked in the mirror and I tried to see if there was a difference in my shoulder blades, and I noticed that when I moved both of my shoulder blades back, like I stretched them back, the one on the left side, it seems to be inflamed/swollen, like maybe a muscle or something? Im not quite sure what to do, as I dont have money to go to any kind of specialist or anything…if anyone has any information that could help about either how to relieve it or what might be the cause I would really appreciate it!
it also seems to affect my shoulder area next to my neck as i also feel it as though it needs a massage quite badly or something.

Hi I need some advice. I woke up 3 days ago with terrible pain in my shoulder. It is actually the back of my left shoulder. If I breathe normal it doesnt hurt but if I take deep breaths it hurts. If I try to put any weight on it at all I scream in sharp pain. I went to a clinic who gave me pain pills. Does this sound at all heart related? I am 22 and healthy as I can be. Considering it hurts when weight is applied to it, doesnt this just sound like a muscle? Please provide insight.

The best way to describe it is like cramp in one side of my neck and pain in the same shoulder, it is worse in the evenings and during the night, especially when the weather is cold.

I have been in moderate to severe pain for 4 1/2 years and I’ve been to doctors, physical therapy, orthopedic specialists, and I’ve had countless x-rays done, one MRI, and one MRI with a saline injection but the only thing that has shown up is inflamation. . They have rulled out a rotator cuff tear, fractures, and labrel tear. Can anyone tell me what else it could possibly be or what type of treatment may work so that I can discuss it with my doctor.
I have tried all kinds of over the counter meds like naproxen, asprin, ibuprofene, and aciphetomen (I know I spelled it wrong) I have also tried icy hot, biofreeze, and some prescription meds like vicoten, percocet, oxycoden, and valum and none of them worked. They did electotherapy and sonogram treatment too.I did try applying ice and massage therapy and those are the only things that sort of helped. The ice helped the most with the inflamation and the massage therapy helped with the range of motion and slightly with the pain but it’s still very painful.

whenever i tell someone my shoulder hurts they tell me to take a apin releiver but they dont work.its in my shoulder.i am swimmer so pain isnt anything new but ive had it for multiple months now and ive done everything my coaches have told me to do to supposedly (help the pain) but it doesnt work.it actually makes it worse.and i can hear it like popping and grinding against something.what should i do?
i cant get anyone to take my shoulder issues seriously so i cant really go see a doctor.

I’ve been stretching and moving my neck around all day everyday this week but its still sore (its my first week of work)

I woke up Friday morning with intense pain in my right shoulder. Knowing the college health center would be closed over the weekend, I decided to go in just in case.

The doctor just asked me if I’d done any lifting or anything like that, and I haven’t. He felt around it for a bit, and told me he didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary. He sent me on my way with some Motrin.

The pain is really bad, but the thing is, my range of motion hasn’t been affected at all. No matter which way I move my arm or shoulder, it hurts just the same.

I feel like they sort of rushed me out of there; they almost scoffed when I told them it’d only hurt about an hour before I went in. But does anyone else have any idea of what could it be?

The Motrin is NOT helping all.. I’m thinking about doubling my dose and even resorting to some other means of pain relief… ugh.

Hi everyone. I know that most people on here are not doctors, and it’s not like anything can be diagnosed over the internet, but I was just wondering if anyone had any idea what this could be or if I should actually even see a doctor about it.

A little over a week ago I was on vacation with my friends and we took a surfing lesson. It was a LOT of fun but the paddling was very strenuous…especially considering this was my first time and we went very far out. I definitely used every ounce of strength for the paddling. Anyway, a few days after I noticed I started to have pain in my arm/shoulder. Whenever I reach up (i.e. to stretch), my right shoulder starts to feel like it’s being pulled sharply and the pain sort of radiates into the upper part of my arm. It’s even worse if I try to reach down and touch my toes. It seems to be feeling worse over time instead of better, and I’m not quite sure if I hurt something or there’s a pinched nerve/muscle, etc. I’m thinking maybe the overhead paddling motion might’ve done something? Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone had any ideas or if it’s worth seeing a doctor over. Thanks!
