A member asked:

Chronic severe shoulder pain and fatigue. could you offer some advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ortho Surgeon: Chronic severe shoulder pain and fatigue is certainly not normal. You need an appropriate workup by a good shoulder surgeon. There are many good shoulder surgeons in your area. My concern would be that you have a rotator cuff tear.

Dr Merriman and another doctor agreed
