sholder muscle pain

(3 discussions)

3 Comments

I have reoccuring sholder muscle pain in my right arm. I believe the original injury occured in September lifting a heavy object.
The pain seems to be agrivated when I use a computer mouse extensively or if I sleep with my arm extened over my head. The pain is alway present and fluctuates only based on activity. The muscle is visibly different between the 2 arms and slightly tender to the touch.
My questions are:
1. Is this an injury I need to see a Dr for?
2. Home treatment options I should consider?
3. Possible ideas as to what I should do? Thank you for your time and assitance.

It does not hurt,however I pushed it pretty hard while working out,and I noticed it had some pain then.. I assumed I was just excercising extra hard..
Is this a symptom of anything?.. It does not hurt!..

Physical Therapy Questions

Hi,I’m a grad student and my insurance doesn’t cover physical therapy. I herniated a disc in my lower back doing deadlifts and I was looking for some tips. I haven’t worked out in 3 months and the inflamation is down. I feel much better and there isn’t the constant pain anymore. What I would like are some exercise tips, particularly for safely increasing core strength while avoiding a recurrence. Thank you!

Physical Therapy Questions

Hello -I have been diagnosed with Piriformis Syndrome that has led to a chronic muscle contraction throughout my left leg.
My knee has twisted as a result, as has my foot.
I heard about a Protronics brace to stabilize the pelvis (my pelvis is constantly out of alignment).
I have no idea what the brace is or where to find one.
Would this be helpful for my condition?
I have been dealing with this for 7 years now with every kind of therapy possible and would love to be off pain pills.
Thank you.

I just had surgery for a torn labrum and my Dr. has sent me to an occupational therapist instead of a physical therapist.
I’m 32 and active.
Shouldn’t I be going to a P/T?
