Specializes in Urgent Care

Shoulder pain: Did you know that there are four joints and several muscles in your shoulder? I would suggest a visit to an orthopaedic surgeon for a musculoskeletal physical exam to determine what musculoskeletal or other cause is generating your pain. Rest, not sleeping on that shoulder,physical therapy, ice/heat, massage,NSAIDS, joint injections and surgery are potential options depending on the diagnosis.
