I Think I Pulled A Muscle In My Shoulder Blade
Question: I think i pulled a muscle in my shoulder blade , the pain is at the top of my shoulder blade and my arm is killing me. I was going to use KT Tape do you now how I should use it?
My shoulder and arm feel better it I have raised above head
Brief Answer:
Avoid using KT tape and take rest.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pulled muscle in the shoulder can be painful. Taking rest and avoiding all the painful activities will help. You can also do a hot compress and apply a local analgesic gel for relief.
Using KT tape will restrict the shoulder movement and should not be used without proper diagnosis.
In case the pain is persistent then you can get some oral muscle relaxants prescribed by your physician.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
