What Causes Pain In Right Shoulder At A Particular Point?
Question: I have pain in my right shoulder at a particular point. I do not have any issues in any hand moment; however when it comes to particular position it pains a lot. mostly noticed this pain while sleeping - changing position from one place to another.
Brief Answer:
Frozen shoulder likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Although it isn't possible to diagnose your condition without an examination and a few tests, your history is suggestive of Adhesive capsulitis(Frozen shoulder) or Calcific tendonitis.
These conditions are easily managed by regular physiotherapy ( Range of motion exercices, stretching and strengthening exercises). Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with this condition. If these pain relievers not work then you can take voltarin after prescription of your doctor.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician nearby for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Your doctor after diagnosing the condition might refer to you a physical therapist. A physical therapist can teach you stretching exercises to help maintain as much mobility in your shoulder as possible.
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.

Thanks Dr. XXXXXXX and glad to see your quick response. I am avoiding pain killer as pain in just for few secs. when it comes to a particular position. Can you please tell me type of test which I should do to understand calcium deficency, osteophorisis and how can I overcum that.
Brief Answer:
Blood test will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
You can get your serum calcium and Vitamin D 3 levels evaluated to detect any deficiency. The pain at a particular point like you have described is not likely to be due to these deficiencies. It is more likely to be due to tendon tear or inflammation.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
