I recently went to my doctor about pain in my throwing shoulder. I was surprised to hear his suggestion: a week or two to get back into it. I haven’t done any serious throwing for the past two weeks, so its kinda like it will be a 3-4 week treatment, but is that enough time to heal? The pain is hardly severe. In fact, I can rarely feel it unless I am actually throwing a baseball. If I continue to rest and ice along with some anti-inflammatory drugs, will I be good to go in about a week and a half? Like I said, I can’t feel it unless I’m throwing a baseball, so I’m afraid to test it out, and then find later that I started the whole thing over.

The schedule is just about to pick up, in fact, games almost everyday. I also play other positions, so pitching isn’t a huge concern, but throwing normally is the question. I just don’t want to rest all this time and then reaggravate it.

I have 2 slightly herniated discs in my neck, suffer with TMJ syndrome, and have dizzy spells. This has been going on for the past 2+ years. I’ve been to SEVERAL doctors, none of which have helped me, and had several diagnoses including vertigo. My orthopedic dr doesn’t seem to think these symptoms are all related. The neck and jaw pain are mostly just on my left side which I’ve had a nerve conduction study on and was diagnosed with radiculopathy. Due to the pain and stress of dealing with not getting any relief, I am all knotted up around my collar bone and shoulder blade on my left side. I have run out of solutions. Is there anyone out there that can give me some suggestions?!!!

Back in may my shoulder just randomly started hurting…i woke up and it was sore…If i injuried it i wasn’t awake for it. i went to a doctor twice and they just keep giving me pain killers…that dont work and finally i have a physical therapy appt coming up that will hopefully help. BUT that is a week away and it makes me cry whenever i reach behind my back to hook/unhook my bra or even wipe after i use the bathroom. any suggestions?

This is been gradually getting worse since about a year ago. Whenever I sit down, the little bump at the bottom of my neck, top of my back, hurts. It can’t feel it at all when I’m standing, though. These days it has been getting really bad and it’s kinda been going to the left shoulder a little bit. I will be seeing a doctor soon but what am I expecting? Is it bad? Is it just posture? I don’t have great posture.

i woke up this morning in pain what should i do im a girl and im fifhteen help me please.
and my stomach it making funny noises and i not hungary so it cant be it please help.

It’s very tender and hurts. I generally crack my neck on my own but I can’t do that anymore because of the pain. It’s the left dside of my neck and down to my shoulderb lades front and back. It hurts… I didn’t lift anything or strain it that I’m aware of. I just woke up with it,

My wife is been complaining of pain from her top of shoulder near neck to all the way right up to her finger tips in her right hand.
We did a MRI & have found narrowing of gaps in her C4-C5-C6-
Couple of my friends who had simillar problems have gone through Chiropractic & they are happy with the results.
But few Ortho whom we consulted , have told us not to go Chiropractic and tare totally against it.
We do not wantto take the surgery route.
I am bit confused- any suggestions- please reply only if you have had simillar problems / treatment

My left shoulder blade has been paining for over two months..
It’s a rather strange kind of pain, my skin burns and inside my shoulder its like a sharp pain like a knife being stabbed into my shoulder… What I dont understand is why does my skin burn too? I have not hurt my arm in anyway and I’m not sure what it is…Any input or comment?
i can move it..my skin burns very much and the pains in the shoulder is very sharp and all over my shoulder

I thought I had slept wrong, but the pain has been going on more than 10 days. I can only sleep on my right side without to much pain. Much pain when looking down, or moving neck just right.

This only occurs sometime, but when it does happen, it hurts for quite awhile…. I cannot figure out why, as I do not have any other symptoms to go along with this!! No fever, weight loss, or anything problematic. Any idea on what this could be??
rainbow chaser: VERY FUNNY…. lol
