Shoulder pain?!


Question:

Shoulder pain?

For the past 2 weeks or so, if I hold up my arm too high, I get a sharp pain in my shoulder. Actually, it's around the area where my arm and shoulder meet. But the thing is, it's not always hurting. Some days it does, and some days I forget about it. What do you think this is and what could it be caused by?


Answers:

Based on your description, I'd say shoulder bursitis or rotator cuff tendinitis.

It is best if you have it check out by your doctor. A physical therapist may also be of help.
