What Causes Pain In The Right Shoulder?
My husband has been complaining about pain in his right shoulder for a few weeks we just assumed he may have strained it. Now tonight he noticed a hard vein, cord feeling tendon sticking out, right below it his armpit closer to his body is swollen about the size of a golfball. What could this be? He says it doesn t hurt but he has a extremely high tolerance for pain.

Hello,
He may be suffering from shoulder osteoarthritis or rotator cuff injury. Swelling may be lymph node or lipoma or cyst etc.
Please get one x-ray shoulder joint, a local examination of swelling.
Take a rest, use warm and cold compression. Use tablet. Naproxen twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
