Q: i woke up with severe neck and shoulder pain. i can't move my neck or right shoulder. the pain shoots down, could be spasms? should i get a voltaren injection and where can i get one today? or what should i do?

See a doc: You describe painful symptoms, but not a diagnosis as to it’s cause. See a PMR or pain doc for a work up to determine the why is this happening. Once you know the diagnosis, treatment options can be chosen. In the meantime, oral NSAIDS and other pain relievers make sense, as well as a pillow which provides proper support for both head and neck overnight. Good luck

Q: my daughter keeps having severe headache on her right side and right shoulder pain. she has no head injuries. she donated blood last friday.

See doc: if she has never had a headache this bad before, take her to the ER now and found out what is going on. A new severe headache can be serious, and may have nothing to do with donating blood. If it goes away with tylenol (acetaminophen) and is gone now, call her doctor for advice. You can give more details there than you can on this forum.

Q: i have severe right shoulder when breathing deep. constant shoulder pain otherwise. had laparoscopic cholecystectomy and tubal ligation 3 weeks ago.

Family Practice: Shoulder pain is common with gallbladder disease. Even after surgical removal of your gallbladder the pain can persists. Treat it symptomatically but call your surgeon to let him know how you are feeling.

Q: right shoulder pain for months now?

See a physician: Shoulder pain can be caused by multiple different things: rotator cuff tendinitis or tear, arthritis, bursitis, referred pain from your neck, muscle pain in the shoulder girdle, cartilage defects, or even tumors or infections. If you have persistent symptoms, you should see a physician and begin the workup to determine the cause. Treatments will depend on the diagnosis/cause. Good luck!

Question 1

still severe right shoulder pain. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Complex Joint: The shoulder is a complex joint, & many conditions/ injuries  (rotator cuff injury, bursitits, tendonitis, labral pathology, etc) can cause pain. Some injuries of the soulder occur due to acute injury and some are from overuse. Shoulder pain can also come from your neck... I suggest you see an orthopedist for a complete exam.

Question 2

severe right shoulder pain hot started spontaneously , makes my whole arm feel heavy at times. doesn't hurt to me my arm/ shoulder in anyway!?

Accepted Answer

Shoulder pain: Spontaneous shoulder pain without an injury ?! arm feeling heavy or numb ? It is best to go see a physician to be sure that you have not torn your rotator cuff or cause an injury to your brachial plexus. 1 will impede your athletics the other will make you a gimp.

Question 3

extreme severe right shoulder pain 10 days after gallbladder ultrasound showed stones?

Accepted Answer

Referred pain: It is very common to have pain in the shoulder after injuries and problems in the abdomen. Injuries to the liver and gallbladder often causes right shoulder pain while injuries to the spleen often causes left shoulder pain. It occurs because the same nerves that go to that part of the abdomen also go to the shoulder. Our brain cannot distinguish between the two.

Question 4

severe right shoulder pain, hurts to breathe cough, laugh, do anything pretty much. my whole right shoulder blade area and makes my arm feel heavy?

Accepted Answer

Sounds muscular but: While this sounds muscular, the diffuculty breathing makes me worry about any possible lung involvement. You need to be evaluated by your primary care to rule out pulmonary disease then decide on proper evaluation of your pain.

Question 5

i have severe right shoulder pain that gets worse when i cough and radiates down my right arm, causing numbness. is this likely 2 be lung cancer ?

Accepted Answer

Arm pain: Most likely explanation is a herniated or bulging cervical disc. Thoracic outlet syndrome, Pancoast tumor, &amp; lung cancer are much more rare possibilities.

Question 6

how to treat severe shoulder pain in right shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Some injuries of the shoulder are acute & some are from overuse. While you can certainly start w/ rest, ice, & nsaids (if not a problem for you), i also suggest you see an ortho for a specific treatment plan
