What Is The Treatment For Pain In Shoulder?
I am a 31 year old woman who works typing at a desk for 8 hours a day and then coaches high school girls basketball. For the past year my right front/top/back should has been causing a lot of unconfortability and pain. Most of the pain seems to generate from the front part of the shoulder, or the top of the shoulder. It is painful to lift my arm above my head or stretch it behind my back. It hurts to put weight on the arm/shoulder, or lift heavy objects with that arms. I have difficulty shooting the ball or passing the ball across distance due to lack of strength and pain. Any idea what could be causing thins? i don't think I have done any activity that could pull/tear anything, but I do not know why. I thought it would get better with rest and time, but a year later it feels like it is getting worse.

Hi,
In my opinion for your case that might be is radiating cervical pain which is a kind of a neuropathic pain due to nerve compression. Spinal herniation sometimes resolve simultaneously with rest or you may use icing it after exercises, massages with topical gels, physiotherapy and even yoga is helpful, muscle relaxants, painkillers, will be effective otherwise I recommend CT and MRI and evaluation by a neurologist for proper management. Please consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful.
Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
