What Causes Pain In The Middle Of Shoulder Cap?
Question: Hello, for the past 3 days I have had a pain in the middle of my right shoulder cap that is intermittent and becomes very painful for only a few minutes, but the pain is incredible. Almost takes my breath away. The pain is very sharp and feels like it matches my pulse and then it disappears as quickly as it started and there is not rymthe or reason for when it comes back. Almost feels like a muscle twinge, quick rapid pulse with pain and then gone, but very painful when it is happening. Can you give me any ideas?

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be sharp pain in shoulder.
There can be large disc bulge which is compressing over spinal cord.
I will advise you clinical examination and accordingly investigation like MRI cervical spine or shoulder will help.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
