Question 1

ive been working out with heavy weight for 1month,but suddenly im having my right shoulder in pain,after my sleep has the worst pain,what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Shoulder pain: The shoulder is one of the most complicated joints in the body. The sudden onset argues for either for damage to the acrimo-clavicular joint or maybe the rotator cuff. You should see a sports medicine person for advice and not lift heavy weights for a while.

Accepted Answer

Depends on treatment: The specific location of the injury depends on the mechanism. The time to recovery depends on how aggressive your treatment has been. A significant injury is not likely to be fully resolved in 1 week even with appropriate and aggressive therapy.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: A 40 year-old woman with shoulder pain and chest heaviness can be evaluated to see if there is a heart or lung problem (or some other problem). A call to her primary care doctor can help. The doctor may refer to the ER or to other specialists if needed. If a primary care doctor is not immediately available, one can be seen at the ER to make sure the problem is not a heart attack.

Question 9

44 yr old male. for 2yrs constant pain between bottom of right shoulder blade and spine. i weight train 4 to 5 days a week. muscle or something else ?

Accepted Answer

Most Likely: A muscular problem.  Since it is chronic, imaging of the spine is appropriate to include x-rays and mri.  These may not show much more that normal degenerative changes.  If the pain is wrapping around the chest along the rib then there could be a nerve impingement.  Good physical therapy and dry needling could help.  I am sure you have been to the doc about this problem by now.  If not, then go.

Question 10

pain comes and goes on the upper right shoulder?

Accepted Answer

How bad is pain?: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If the pain has persisted more than a month and it interferes with your daily life, it would be prudent to see your doctor.
