Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Right Shoulder
Question: hi my right shoulder joint is paining NO history of fall or accident. pain is not so severe but mild.age 35 male
Brief Answer:
Can be a mild strain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Pain in right shoulder can be brought on by heavy pushing and pulling. Strenuous exercises very often bring about muscular strains. Further activities can worsen this pain. I see such events very regularly at my clinic.
If you do not have problems during the movement of the affected shoulder, then I do not think there s any major problem. The need to visit the emergency room in such cases depends on the intensity of pain. If the pain is severe, say above 8 on a pain scale, then emergency room visit could be worth it.
If the pain is not such intense, you may consider waiting for few days. Ice the affected part frequently. Avoid any activities involving the affected shoulder and definitely no physical exercises, pushing and pulling. Anti-inflammatory treatment like topical pain balms application and oral drugs like Advil (ibuprofen) 400mg twice a day after food will give added relief.
You can consult an orthopedic directly / through your local physician if the pain remains despite the above measures. X ray of the shoulder region s entailed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
