I've had wicked sharp pain in my left shoulder..?!


Question: I've had wicked sharp pain in my left shoulder!.!.!?
For 6 years now, it seems when I get tired or stressed out the pain starts kicking in!. When I move or massage my shoulder I can hear things cracking in there every time!. The pain goes from right under my next to that shoulder bone in my back and it also occurs in the front of my shoulder!. I use the therma-wraps but they don't work AT ALL!

Can someone tell me what this might be called!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The cracking you hear is air pockets being wrenched free in the over taxed muscles!. This is a tension injury caused by how you hold your body when you are stressed!. Over time you compensate for the pain by holding your body in ways that put your shoulders at uneven angles and your spine out of alignment!. you may want to see a specialist who can teach you how to have proper posture and how to relax or drop your shoulders when you're physically or emotionally stressed!. The muscles and tendons that are connected in this area are like a band that wraps all the way around and include your brachial plexus, trapezoid muscles and those in your breast!. I don't know what your physical limitations are if any, but there are many teachers who can show you how to open up those areas through proper low impact stretching and that will definitely help release the tension!.

Since you mention stress, it could be muscle tension!. If it is the arm that you use to mouse with, you might have ergonomic problems with the height of your desk or chair that stresses the neck area!. Your monitor might even be too high!.
I have some bulging cervical discs and carry my head so that my chin is elevated!. It accommodates the discs, but plays havoc with my neck!. And yes, the pain radiates down the shoulder and back and front muscles!.

Try getting a massage!. A chiropractor can evaluate how you hold your body!. Sometimes the way we stand and move affects us in strange ways!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i recently had some intense pain in my shoulder!. they found a bone spur that was digging into the tendons!.
have you had a professional massage therapist work on the shoulders and surrounding muscles!? check with an orthopedic dr!. you could have bone spurs on it that are only bothersome when inflamed!. put ice on it and take some OTC anti-inflammatory meds such as motrin or aleve!.

Yes!. You don't say how old you are but I bet that you are close to middle age!. Your shoulder may have some kind of impingement that has formed or maybe even a small rotator cuff tear that has happened over time!. You really do need to get evaluated by a good shoulder doc!. Sometimes all that's needed is some physical therapy to increase strength and range of motion!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
