A member asked:

What would cause sharp pain in my shoulder from an injury that happened 6 years ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam: Cannot be answered without an examination and x-ray; however, this "sounds" like post traumatic arthritis or tendonitis.

RANDOM question here - for the past 2-3 years, Ive had the worst STABBING shoulder pain, that only happens during missionary sex. Clearly too embarrassed to go to an orthopedic doctor when this is literally the only time it hurts. No injury before?
