Evaluation: A middle age male with chronic unilateral shoulder pain needs to be evaluated.  The shoulder is an exceedingly complex mechanism with numerous soft tissues that, when injured, can each become generators of chronic pain.  A hands-on evaluation by an osteopath would be useful.  Until then, rest and heat are advised.  Acupuncture and massage might help.

Question 10

left shoulder pain for weeks. no injury. sharp, on&off, top of the shoulder. doesn't always hurt w/ movement, and hurts when doing nothing. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your-: -age, this could be impingement. Some symptoms include trouble putting on a coat or blouse, fastening your bra, and a positive empty can sign. You extend your arm out in front of you, elbow extended &amp; pretend that you're emptying a can rotating your arm as is emptying a can. In Wisconsin we call it the empty beer can sign. If not painful or if it is, see an orthopedic surgeon.
