Question: on my shoulder blade I think on my back has been hurting really bad and the pain is in my upper arm too. It's a really sharp pain and its to the point where I can barely lift anything or move it up. whatcould possibly be going on?
Brief Answer:
muscle strain
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The fact that your pain is occurring 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
* You can take mild pain killers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
