What Does Soreness In The Right Shoulder Indicate?

few days ago my right shoulder has been sore, from a simple movement (not the first time). I have been having some stiffness and pain with my right trapezoid area. my question is, I felt a nodule or a knot at the lower right area of my neck, it is sore. would this be muscle & tendon strain. I don t believe it is my subclavian, its just so hard. what would that knot be. I haven t felt anything like that before. also , I have a long history of what I think is nerve related(compression)w/symptoms of pins & needles, discomfort , not really pain. but it can feel dull burning ache w/o relief on rare occasions. I haven t been treated, the one time I went to a doctor they immediately said carpal tunnel(I don t think that is the issue) with time, now I also have same symptoms on both right and left arms

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It may be over use trapezius muscle or acute injury or fibromyalgia or cervical disc compression or infections etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.

Use pain killer medication, heat and cold compression. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor orthopedician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care.
