I play baseball and one day I threw the ball and I got this sharp pain from my shoulder all the way down my arm. I have had shoulder / arm / elbow pain from baseball before but nothing like this.

The only way I can describe the pain is equal to ciatic pain I got occasionally.

When I swing the bat it is fine. Raising my arm above my head triggers it.

Is this a pinched nerve in the neck? and how do I get rid of this pain so I can play?
I don’t think it is router cuff. I mean I believe I have router cuff issues but I can deal with that pain. This pain that I get is shooting and goes through my whole arm.
Thanks for the input. I did some research and it is an rotator cuff impingement.

Explains the pain echoing thoughout the arm.

I found I can throw sidearm and it doesn’t bother it at all. So I will be doing that till it starts to feel a bit better. "Rest" is never an option.

I am 7 mo. pregnant and have been having severe constant deep left shoulder blade pain. I know your back and stuff gets sore from the weight gain but this is so deep and not like muscle pain at all. It doesn’t matter how I sit or lay and nothing like tylenol helps, and it doesn’t hurt to touch, it is just this very deep pain on the left side of thoracic area between shoulder blade and spine. I went to my regular MD and they said it was probably pleurisy and gave me a Zpack but still no relief. Tried heat, ice, massage, but really starting to effect me and trying to work and getting a little worried it might be something more. Any suggestions?
I am 28 and its been ongoing for about 2 weeks now. Also it doesn’t hurt any worse or help any to move my arm or stretch, it’s the strangest pain.

Earlier today, i was playing baseball. When at bat, i accidentally swung awkwardly and really hard, and heard a popping/cracking kind of sound in my left shoulder, i bat right handed, and my arm went limp for a minute. Now, whenever i move my arm around, i get this feeling in my shoulder as if somethings moving or cracking and it hurts a little bit. Did i just throw out my shoulder or something else?

I have a history of limb dislocation, which is hereditary, not because I’m lazy Basically it involves the muscles that surround the main joints in your body becoming so weak and loose that it can no longer hold the joints together, causing them to dislocate which by the way is very PAINFUL!
I must have done something to my right shoulder in my sleep because for the last two days it feels like it is on the verge of popping out.
I have already done the exercises required to strengthen the muscle, which was a big mistake because now it feels worse. I have taken pain relief which has done jackall, and I have already been to the doctor who said I need to follow the exercises and take the medication. I have gone to physio for my other arm and he said that I don’t need to go again if I have to exercises for them.
I need to go to work tomorrow and I can’t take any days off we are so short-staffed! I’m also studying so I need full use of both my arms.
Can anybody suggest some quick pain relief or a way I can keep my shoulder safe while I’m asleep and at work? I’m at home by myself right now and when this type of injury is caused you can’t even think straight, it is so painful you start to panic!
Please help!

Next to each of my shoulder blades i have a huge knot. i get them a lot from stress or emotion and even though lately i haven’t been really stressed. The knots are huge and painful, i can’t even lift my arms up or rotate my shoulders around in a circle without them hurting. By the way i am also a dancer so its not from being out of shape and no i did not get injured, just so there isn’t any confusion if i hurt it.

i recently had one of my wisdom teeth extracted, and ever since then have had severe pain around the surrounding molars. Iea had neck and shoulder muscle pain as well incresed pain in the jaw when i open my mouth wide. My jaw also makes a small clicking noise. is this normal recovery pain? its been 5 days.

I’ve had this pain in my upper back, shoulder blade area, left side. It started about two years ago as a weird tingling in that area that would come and go. Then, it would feel like I my back needed to be cracked or adjusted in that area and started to feel uncomfortable. Now I have pain which sometimes radiates down my left arm into my fingers. It hurts more when I take a deep breathe, but I’m not congested nor do I have a cough.

I’ve been to the doctors for this, all they did was a simple x-ray and when they didn’t see anything, they said that I must have pulled a muscle and it would go away soon. Its not going away, and it doesn’t feel like a pulled muscle, its starting to feel like nerve pain.

What is going on with me?
