Suggest Treatment For Pain In Shoulder
Question: Hi. I woke up this morning with a pain in my shoulder. I have pain whenever I try lifting my arm to shoulder level or when I try to lift it even just a bit out in front of me.
Brief Answer:
Seems to be muscle strain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The fact that your pain is occuring with movements indicates a muscle strain. Any strained muscle when stretched gives severe pain.
I advice you to follow the below mentioned guidelines -
* Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain
* Ice packing once in every 2 hours over the affected area
* Moist heat application to relax the muscles
* Local application of muscle relaxant gel
* Analgesic medications as needed
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
