A member asked:

Pain in the left shoulder when rotating in a certain direction. mainly when raising hand over the head, pain in the shoulder ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get examined: for possible overuse tendonitis or possible rotator cuff injury. Until seen, examined, evaluated, diagnosed and treated, you can use Advil or Aleve (naproxen) ( if not allergic to these products) and I recommend BioFreeze cream. This injury requires an examination.
