Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Joint Pain And Discomfort
Been in alot of pain in right arm shoulder joint radiating down top of arm for about six weeks now. Especially extending arm or putting arm behind my back. Even affecting arm out to hold myself up. Joint pops and cracks alot. Any idea what this could be? Almost like a muscle injury.

Hello,
I think it can be tendinitis but also arthritis is a possibility. If possible you can do a X-ray of the joint. You can take anti-inflammatory drugs such ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Reduce movements as much as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
