Burning in shoulder/back

I injured my shoulder 20 years ago throwing discus in high school. I don’t know exactly what the injury was but immediately afterward, I had a large lump on my shoulder blade or maybe it is the shoulder blade. I also get a severe burning sensation along the spine adjacent to the shoulder blade. It then tenses up and the pain goes up my neck. This had not bothered me overmuch for several years. 5 months ago, I had a mini open rotator cuff repair, distal clavicle resection, a biceps tenodesis and AC joint debridement. Since then, my shoulder has reverted back to the burning, tense feeling. My doc says x-rays show no abnormality even though you can see and feel the lump. Any ideas. Tired of living with this and no answers. Thanks, jan

bad knee

I have had an upper tibial oseotomy, and the knee brace that I have is getting old. It is a body glove with metal hinges and I am looking for a replacement for it. It looks like the AP 7125 is the one I have now, but I was wondering if the AP 7128 might be better for my knee, but I don’t know the differences between the two braces. what do you recommend?

pain on outside of left foot

i went on vacation for a couple of days and was on my feet for practically the entire time.
the next day (after my vacation) I was at a wedding rehearsal when I experienced a very sharp pain on the outside of my left foot.
i couldn’t walk normally, but if I “tip-toed” my foot didn’t hurt.
i’ve stayed off of it for a good while and there was no more pain.
i went running the other day and after about a mile, my foot started hurting again, but it is fine if I walk normally.
any ideas of what the problem is and how to fix it?
