a.c joint shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

AC SEPARATION: Typically an AC JOINT separation can be treated conservatively when it is only a type 2 or 3. Treatment consists of therapy to regain motion after a short period in a sling.  If pain persists or you have pain with activities then sometimes surgical intervention is warranted. Consult an Orthopaedic surgeon for a complete work up. Hope this information is helpful.

Accepted Answer

Anemia and pain: Anemia can be caused by multiple underlying pathologies (ie. Iron deficiency, vit B12 deficiency, lead poisoning, chronic disease, blood cell dysfunction, sickle cell...). Some of these can lead to painful joints. If you have anemia the best thing to do is to find the source of it. You should also have your doctor perform a shoulder physical exam to rule-out internal pathologies. Hope that helps!
