Suggest Remedy For Shoulder Pain When Moving Towards That Side
Hi, I am 44 years old woman. Overall healthy. My right side shoulder hurts when I move it towards should level. It hurts when I sleep on my right side. It also hurt when I look to the right (towards the end of the rotation). It has been 3 months. I do not remember any injury hapenned. I just woke up and it hurts. I took neck x-ray and my chiropractor said it will take time to heal. All he did was crack my neck to left and right and do the machine that vibrate on my shoulder. He told me to ice it and take warm shower. Is there anything else I could do?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi, Thanks for your query.
Although it isn't possible to diagnose your condition without an examination and a few tests, your history is suggestive of Adhesive capsulitis(Frozen shoulder) or Calcifictendonitis.
These conditions are easily managed by regular physiotherapy ( Range of motion exercices,stretching and strengthening exercises). Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with this condition.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician nearby for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Your doctor after diagnosing the condition might refer to you a physical therapist.A physical therapist can teach you stretching exercises to help maintain as much mobility in your shoulder as possible
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
