A member asked:
My shoulder hurts when i press a point on it. it started since i started carrying my school bag and it's not going away. is there something wrong?

Yes: It is most likely a minor nerve irritation due to the pressure from the bag. Try carrying it in a different location. Apply ice to the area. You could try Tylenol (acetaminophen) as well.
