Sharp Pain In Left Shoulder, Pricking Sensation. Cause Of Worry?
I have a sharp pain in my left shoulder randomly. I play baseball and I m right handed. My shoulder is fine usually but sometimes my shoulder feels like someone is stabbing a needle into my shoulder and the pain is pretty bad. After that, my shoulder tenses up and starts to hurt. Is this something I should be worried about?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in your shoulder is likely to be due to a soft tissue injury or an inflammation like tenosynovitis of the shoulder joint. An MRI scan will help in the proper diagnosis. You can avoid any heavy exercise till then.
