Suggest Treatment For Severe Shoulder Pain And Rheumatoid Arthritis
I am having issues moving my right shoulder. I am unable to pull or push using that arm without severe pain. I pulled my outside trash can towards me and nearly screamed in pain. I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and several of it s fun companions. Should I take anti inflammatory over the counter medication or see my doctor?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest using Noninflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.
I also suggest to use cold compresses at the area of pain. If the symptoms continue I suggest going to the rheumatologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
