Could Playing Voilin Be The Reason For Sudden, Severe Pain From Shoulder To Elbow?
Hi! I have a teenage daughter who suddenly seems to experience left arm pain. She says its unbearable.... She can't seem to fall asleep because of the pain. She has tried all kinds of stretches for her arm , but nothing seems to work.
We have looked for answers online and can't seem to find a good answer. The pain is from her shoulder to her elbow. She says her wrists and fingers hurt sometimes but bearly....
She plays the violin, she played for over 7 years now and never had this problem.
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern, poor posture for longer than enough time could cause such pain problem that could be due to the holding of violin instrument, now best way to stop this for few weeks and try "Chlorzoxazone with Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen, this will subside the pain, finding a cause in such case is less important but to treat it, if this happen again then it need investigation take care have good time.
